Has anyone else been outraged to discover Hansen's "Natural" Diet Soda?!
The last thing I expected to have to watch out for in a natural food store is foul-tasting chlorinated sugar, but one day I discovered a nauseating flavor in the soda I had just bought and was appalled to read the fine print that said "Splecccchhhhhda"!* Hansen's website contains a contact form, so I complained about the deceitful advertising of "natural" on a product adulterated with a potential carcinogen!. The rationalization I got from them was as arrogant as any I would expect from any mainstream capitalist pig!. Has anyone else noticed the snake oil that prevails in every aspect of "health" foods, thanks to a Repuke mentality!?

Splenda has been marketed from square 1 as being natural because its root chemistry is based on sugar - and people have been arguing that it isn't because it is just a raw material!. But you are really over reaching to declare that it is "adulterated with a potential carcinogen" And, as you should well know, if it isn't flavored with organic honey (not sugar of any kind and not high fructose corn syrup - which is not a carcinogen either - then people like yourself will go ballistic - supposedly natural honey will not make you !.!.!.!. whatever!.
And if it tastes bad don't buy it - simple marketing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would ask why they just didn't use Stevia (an all natural sweetener that comes from an herb) but I don't think it's been approved by the FDA as a sweetener!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
