I hate that sucralose is in everything!!!!

I know some people like or have to do lower sugar or sugar free stuff, but I don't and I have a bad reaction to anything with sucralose in it. Recently I have been finding sucralose in more and more stuff that isn't listed as less or no sugar. For instance bought some hot cocoa, nowhere on the box did it say less sugar and I glanced at the nutrition info and it said @ 100 calories and about 9 g of sugar so I figured it was fine. Took one drink and realized it had sucralose in it. And almost all gum has sucralose or aspartame in them now (I can't stand the taste of aspartame). One day I looked at every package of gum at the gas station while waiting for someone and only found 1 without fake sugar - it was a cotton candy bubble yum. Even regular gum has it now. So now I buy all my gum at the health food store. Probably better for my teeth, but I miss normal gum....

So now shopping is annoying because I feel like I have to read the entire ingredient list on everything I buy because more and more products are doing this now. Luckily I buy mostly whole foods, but it is still annoying and I wish they would stop doing it or at least make it more obvious on the packaging so I know not to buy it!

I stay away from fake sugar too...not because i have a reaction to it, but because im not afraid of sugar, the REAL stuff. I have a theory that the body doesnt know how to process the fake stuff and will only lead to issues down the road, id rather stick to the real stuff, have a little bit higher calories in certain things (like my coffee that is 150 calories) :bigsmile:
