not all “sugar free” subsitute sweetner is sugar free. if you look at ingredients, maltodetrexin, dextrose or equivalent is just sugar in another form. these companies word it in a way to obfuscate that they use actual sugar to sell sweetener as"sugar free". misconceptions about gluten free products, unless you re actually have CELIACs, gluten products wont have noticible effects on you. leaky gut or whater gluten is asscotiate with in healthy people is just marketing and pseudoscience.
It’s amazing how much good just going “if it looks/tastes like it’s mostly sugar and unidentifiable calories it almost definitely is very unhealthy for you” is. My wife’s a big soda drinker and my kids are starting to hit the age where many people pick up soda addictions. I push hard for them to mostly drink water and make sure to tell them how bad soft drinks are, and when they get upset about seeing the difference between what I say and what my wife does I tell them “you can make that decision for yourself when you’re a grown-up”
It is really incredible how once you start reducing your sugar intake so much of the super-sugary overly-sweet everything everywhere just stops mattering because you just can’t stand to eat more than a bite or two of it
I used to like pickled beetroot but now what they have in shops is far too sweet. Normally find pouring the liquid out and replacing it with vinegar makes them taste like they should.
Hopefully growing my own to try pickling, time will tell how well they grow. Already pickled quite a few radishes. Not sure if I will keep growing them though, moving to more perennial crops and tubers/bulbs.
its marketing and obfuscation of the ingredients. if you look at the nutritional facts, you can tell its not the case, anything honey/fruity next to this product like bread or yogurt, you can guaranteed is sugar, although not added sugar.

Recipes are even worse. “Low sugar” recipe, it uses a shitload of honey or maple syrup instead.

Or that sugar substitutes don’t cause diabetes. Diabetes rates took off after diet sodas went mainstream.
