[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw that and looked it up. It's made with monk fruit so "better" for you than soda.... [/quote]

well that would be nice, but being the last ingredient on a long list does not the same as "mode with". I've seen other products that pull the same adding trace amounts of monk fruit after large amounts of different sugars.[/quote]

Yes, adding trace amounts of monk fruit does not transform this into a “health” drink.

Who are they trying to fool?[/quote]

Are you the twit who keeps saying it's "sugary" and somehow every bit as bad as every other drink marketed to kids?

Do you know how to read nutrition labels?

Plezi 5g sugar
versus
Coke 25g sugar
Mott's Apple juice 28g sugar
Capri Sun 14g sugar
Country Time Lemonade 16g sugar
Sunny Delight 20g sugar

Do you know how to do the math to understand that it contains far less (25-30%) as much sugar as most of the regular alternatives?

Do you not know that monkfruit and stevia are natural extracts from fruit, have zero calories, do not affect blood sugar, and that are medically and scientifically considered to be much safer and healthier compared to chemically synthesized artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose?

Or are you just coming at this from the angle of "No, ze cheeldren must only be allowed to drink vater, like ve do in home country?"

Be honest, it's bound to be one of the two, either you don't actually understand nutrition, or you are out of touch with the realities of what kids are drinking.  Either that or you are trying way too hard to find fault.   Either way, you're weird and cringe.[/quote]

It's likely a MAGA who hates the thought of a wealthy famous black person daring to make even more while they turn a blind eye to everything Trump hawks.[/quote]
