Scientists Stare Into Kidsā Candy: Sweeteners Mystery Remains

This groundbreaking revelation, which sounds like it was made by someone who just peeked inside a Halloween candy stash, reminds us all that while Big Food is busy swapping sugar for substances that scream 'science experiment gone rogue,' our tiny tots remain the unwitting lab rats. Given the global sugar-fearing epidemic, this knowledge gap feels like trusting toddlers to assemble Ikea furnitureābold but doomed.
