Is anything artificial bad

Answer 1

There are different points of view and different opinions on whether artificial things are bad, and/or how bad. To be on the safe side, we could say that anything natural is usually the best choice. If that choice is not available then anything that is as close as possible to its natural state may not be too bad. There are some artificial things that are very bad, and have been proven bad for decades over and over again, yet people still use them. What I am referring to are artificial sweeteners. Not just one in particular, but every single one of them that has ever been produced has caused some kind of health problem. I would call them all one of the worst things we have ever artificially created because it is literally making our children sick. The Diabetes epidemic has reached to almost 30% of all pre-teen children are either diabetic or pre-diabetic. And, diabetes type 2 was unheard of in children just a few decades ago, now it is in epidemic proportions. I bet if we check the production of soft drinks and artificial sweeteners we would see a correlation. But you may ask how this could be so? The thing that most people do not know is that consuming artificial sweeteners makes the body crave more sweet things to try and get the energy it thought was going to come along with the artificial stuff, so even if they have a diet drink, most kids will sooner or later crave and consume sugar in the form of unhealthy treats and snacks.
