Quiz on Artificial and Natural Sweeteners

Think You Know Your Sweeteners?

by 8

I am trying my darnedest to drink my tea without any sugar or sugar substitutes, but I can't lie — it ain't easy. I've always been a big fan of raw sugar, while others soak up the artificial sweeteners. While they all seem fairly equal (har, har), I do wonder if people know the differences between the vast selection. Come take my quiz and see how well you know your sweeteners!

4/5 pretty good. Tell everyone you can to stay clear of high fructose corn syrup. Lets get back to eating fruit with natural sugars!

leeluv--are you serious?? The only reason they would do something that sneaky is to fool all the people who avoid the words "high fructose corn syrup". The government makes me sick sometimes. Incidentally, I got 5/5. I definitely know my sweeteners. I prefer Truvia, but I also use Equal.

I flunked. I try to stay away from that stuff anyways though.

* I meant "Doing a little happy dance..." otherwise it seemed as if I was ordering a reader to do said dance,lol.

5/5. Do a little happy dance; I try to be/stay aware of the sweeteners on the market so I can better avoid the unhealthy additives. The less processed the better. Now, high fructose corn syrup will be labeled "corn sugar" (MSNBC, article on 9/14). Give me a effing break. It is still junk that should not be in our systems. Non-GMO corn on the cob? Perfectly fine. Processed corn sugar? No, in flashing red lights. The articles showing why are out there waiting to be read.

I got 100%, but I don't know if that's a good thing or not! lol

I got 4/5! Woot Woo! And I guessed most of the answers as in Australia we don't have the same sweeteners, or the same advertising campaigns!

eeek got 2 out of 5 correctly! FAIL! ;p Coincidentally, I am watching The Doctors now and they're topic is about artificial sweeteners. The report says STEVIA is the safest of the bunch. Hootay! That's what I use =)
