A couple days ago, we gave our readers a heads-up that they may see, hear or read something in the news this week about low-calorie sweeteners and diet soda.  Now, we made it clear that this “news” was actually based on an opinion – even if it did get reported as a study.  More importantly, we shared the facts about low-calorie sweeteners, which happen to be some of the most studied and reviewed ingredients in the food supply today.

Today, we came across a great article on TheWeek.com which further points out the flaws in this opinion piece – as well as the problems with reporting on it as fact.  We highly encourage you to take a few minutes to read this important piece by Trevor Butterworth.
