THis is true but people are lazy, as evidenced by the huge success of drugs that aren't at all necessary if you change your diet (drugs for diabetes, for high cholesterol etc). I know a ton of people on this stuff who aren't willing to sit down and do a bit of research and change the way they eat. Maybe they're too stressed out and just reach for the burger and fries. Typical conversation with an upstairs neighbor: "My triglycerides are high, what should I do?" "Cut out the sugar. FOr instance, your glass of oj in the morning is pure sugar and very little nutrition." "Oh but I can't do that I love my oj." "And those cookies." "Oh well I don't eat too many of those." Etc...so she takes the drugs. ANd you may have noticed the huge popularity of low carb stuff, or the previous fat-free craze where people were eating high sugar desserts and those products were an enormous success. I don't eat that stuff so I can't remember what the famous cookie or dessert was that everybody was eating. People want the easy way out. If you give them a product that they can pick off the shelf without making any lifetyle changes and it has less salt or sugar but tastes just as salty or sweet, that's what they want. And diabetes is increasingly common these days. As is blood pressure, high cholesterol etc. My question is, will they really do the trick? I'd like to taste it myself and see. ANd will there be any untoward side effects, as for instance, all the alcohol sugars make people gassy, which they don't like. Even so those products are everywhere, in every supermarket and drugstore.
