Replace all sugar with sucralose?

[Windex]

Sucralose (and other artificial sweeteners) are made by the sugar industry companies. They wouldn't terminate their most profitable ingredient.

If you walk up and down all the non perishable aisles at the grocery store you'll count an easy 50+ brands. 4 companies own all those brands

Yeah, but if one of those companies started replacing sugar with sweetener in their products wouldn't they have an advantage? Sucralose has no nutritional value. Market it right and they could charge premium prices, then the other companies would switch too.

Obesity is an epidemic in the first world. People want to be less fat and they don't want to jog...

The obesity problem isn’t solely sugar’s doing. That’s the issue. Fatties want a simple boogeyman, but it doesn’t exist. Read this excerpt from The Hungry Brain to see how stupid the whole thing is.



The source of the obesity epidemic is multifactorial, and just getting rid of sugar won’t help any more than the fat free Snackwells bullshit did. We have large corporations they employ people who are very good at making foods as easy to overconsume as possible.
Sugar doesn’t help, but look at Jimmy Moore’s fat ass. Dude went “keto for health” and wanted to gain some “healthy weight”. He now looks like a My 600 lbs. Life casting reject, all thanks to overeating butter and eggs and bacon, etc.
