The Sugar Show – sweeteners in the news

Today on The Sugar Show Shirley talks about three news articles about sweeteners she’s come across, namely people suing over false advertising of some of the products making them look as if they contained a lot of stevia. In the newsletter, www.foodnavigator-usa.com reports of high cost law suites with no payouts to anyone, as no one was damaged.

Coke Life and Pepsi Natural are using stevia and even beet sugar to avoid the problems their customers have with sucrose. Listen in to what’s happening in the food industry.
