Alright, now that we have merged with Scripts Pharmacy I am not able to keep up with the goings on with Regis and Kelly.  But if you have read our posts in the past you will see that I comment often on measures of their (especially Regis’ health)

Well it seems Regis is now the spokesperson for Sweet ‘n low!  I am sure this is a sweet financial deal, but its a low mark for advertising morals.

As you might know, Regis has had by pass heart surgery.

As you might or might not know, Seet n Low is saccharin and in the 1970’s a number of studies suggested that it might cause cancer (most commonly bladder) in rats.

At one point there was even a cancer warning on the packet.

Like the whole artificial sweetner industry, there is a tremendous financial motivation, and I do not believe this is bad.

What is bad is the lies, and tactics they pull to make you believer it is a healthier choice…which it is not.

Healthier natural sweetner choices, low in sugar stimulation are stevia and xylitol.  Stevia is sweeter, xylitol has a one to one sweetness with sugar,

In Health,

Rob and Amy
