After seeing a number of studies finding evidence of popular synthetic sweeteners being ‘bad’ for you in one way or another, I want to know why these studies weren’t done BEFORE these things came into the market. Why is it only later that scientists look into these things? Aren’t tests required by the FDA prior to approving preservatives, sweeteners, additives, colorants, etc? Once it’s gone to market and made the company producing it rich, it’s a much harder fight to get it off the freaking shelves!!
