New #Israeli backed experimental #sugar is sweeter than regular sugar. As if previous fake sugars haven't been bad enough. Color me skeptical that this will work 🤨 #DouxMatok

A tiny tweak to sugar is about to make the world’s sweets a lot healthier

Sugar is notoriously inefficient. So a father-son team, who started a company in Israel, figured out how to make it work better.

Based on how #NutraSweet / #Aspertame came onto the market after creating a completely fake "study" to scare people away from other sugar substitutes and to get it fast-tracked for #FDA approval... I expect NutraSweet (who had to change its name to #aspertame because consumers had so many problems with it early on) might be up to their old marketing tricks again.

#Erythritol has replaced #Aspertame as the market leader. They need to reclaim their customers.

I could be wrong, admittedly, but past experiences tell me not to trust this. I have a feeling this is some dirty tricks by the Aspertame company-- AGAIN.

#NutraSweet / #Aspertame is infamous for causing headaches and migraines (and far worse), but it is not the same product as #erythritol / #Stevia / #Truvia. Be careful to not assume one sugar substitute is the same as every other, in every way.
