Stuck in the 80s
Does it feel like it was only yesterday when you could walk into any shop and buy a drink and not have to think about what toxic chemicals you were consuming?
Back then, we hardly knew what toxic chemicals were! I mean, we drank girders for poppy’s sake!
Yes, Irn Bru and Tizer were just orange and red drinks that you knew were bad for you because they were so full of sugar, but somehow the trade-off seemed worth it at the time.
Now though, it seems like every drink is full of synthetic or lab refined artificial sweeteners that you know are bad for you but the trade-off definitely doesn’t seem worth it.
It was only a couple of months ago, the WHO told us that aspartame sweetener was a possible carcinogen.
A carcinogen is, of course, “a substance that causes cancer”.
So why on earth would anyone drink it?
And why on earth would regulatory bodies practically mandate it in every single soft drink through so-called “sugar taxes”, forcing manufacturers onto potentially lethal ingredients?
It is this question that really gave us the impetus to create the Real Sugar Co. knowing full well that refined sugar is not good for you, but it seems a damn sight safer than Aspartame or the other artificial sweeteners you’re being forced to drink!
