Aspartame in milk??

I don't know if you realize this but milk has been hijacked! Like most of the food industry, even the wholesome, childhood staple in so many homes has been taken over by profits and big business.

There is so much information on milk and sugar in milk, especially in schools. There are movements happening in many school districts now to serve milk that is milk, not a chemical mixture of refined sugars and other stabilizers. Here is an article tells that big business is not backing down easily, or at all for that matter.

Sometimes big words that sound scientific or foreign make people disconnect with the information that is being shared with them.

Aspartame is one of these words. What could it possibly be??

It is an artificial sweetener and it is used in things like Diet Coke to keep it zero calorie but still sweet.

The diary industry is trying to add this to milk without needing to add it to the label.

We all need to to our own research and see what makes sense to us. I am a firm believer in this. When presented with new information, we must use our brains and experiences and deeply ponder what we are understanding.

But we need new information to be able to do this. So here is an article to read and think about.

Many say aspartame is perfectly safe others claim it has many detrimental side effects. Do your own research and see where you side.

But no matter where you land, I think we can all agree that ANYTHING that is added into a processed food that we, especially our kids, are going to be eating needs to be on the label!
