    I swear I’ve seen companies advertise “no artificial sweeteners” while using things like stevia or monk fruit. Maybe I’m misremembering, but it’s so irritating that you just have to know an increasingly long list of sweeteners to check for.

      Well yeah because stevia and monk fruit aren’t artificial, they’re natural alternatives to sweeteners.

      I’m not making health claims but they do grow in the ground hence non artificial.

      But yeah I don’t really like them, so I would wish it would say low sugar, and also no added sweetener alternatives or something, since that’s what I like and I will see low sugar and then buy it and it’s sickly sweet with the fake ones…

        “No added sugar” but then the ingredients list extra juice concentrate is another pet peeve.
