I totally agree with you - sweeteners (and most other additives) are way overused - that's why a little bit of sugar is a good thing, rather than hiding it in several forms in each product. Diabetes is on the rise, I'm sure it is from stuff like pop which has mega-doses of sugars, and not stuff like homemade lemonade or OJ which has very little sugar comparitively, even if it is sweetened with granulated sugar.
