Plant-Based Sweeteners
I don’t really watch TV. I’d like to say that this is because I think its a waste of time and that it rots your pre-frontal cortex, but, sadly, it is probably mostly because my antenna only picks up 2.5 channels…and I am far too cheap to pay for TV.
Anyway, I did watch a bit of some news show the other morning. They had a “nutritionist” lady on the show showing us all how to make healthy snacks for kids. This is good info to have. What caught my attention, though, was something she mentioned almost in passing. She was peddling some products (of course, this is why TV really exists, you know), and she mentioned this “plant-based” sweetener that you could use to sweeten teas and other stuff that your kids would never consume. A “plant-based” sweetener? You mean a sweetener made from plants? Oh, I get it, plants like sugar cane, corn, and beets!
