That's the point.

Am I allowed to cuss on this show?

So I call the sugar-free products chemical shit storms.

Because if you look at the ingredient label on those ones, I mean, I just, I was looking at the creamers the other day and the sugar-free ones were actually objectively even worse than the normal ones with sugar.

because they had so many other chemicals in there.

There was a study that came out a couple of years ago about sucralose, which is also known as Splenda.

And they found that sucralose is actually a genotoxin, which means that it damages our DNA.

To me, I don't want to take any risk with that.

There's also, look, there's so much debate in the science world between scientists as to whether or not some of these artificial sweeteners are linked to cancer.

It's synthetic.

And my whole point is, look, when was this?

In the 60s, we had doctors telling pregnant women to smoke cigarettes.

We get the science wrong a lot.

And we change course.

And to me, I believe that we also need to leave room in the world of science for common sense.

I mean, logically, we know that it takes about 17 years for the science to catch up to what we already logically know to be true.

And logically, to me, something that is synthetically made in a lab that our body doesn't fully recognize as food and it mimics sugar to our body.

We also know that it mimics.

So the second that your that that fake sugar hits your tongue, your body starts to prepare for glucose.

And then when it doesn't get that glucose, then it craves the glucose.
