#splenda — Public Fediverse posts

Let’s all just stop pretending that #Stevia has an acceptable taste. It clearly tastes like a chemical. #Splenda is more than sufficient for the needs of most people.

As mentioned in my sharing of the Daily Kos article “Splenda, not so Splendid”, it’s obvious that Splenda is not meant for human consumption, it damages our DNA.

Best to stick with natural sweeteners, or skip them all together.
