Question: Health food nuts, what would be a good argument to give my new boyfriend that artificial sweetners are bad?

Cause he said he would give that to kids cause he is convinced that it is better than giving them jouce cause jouce has sugars. I think he is stuck in the 80s and 90s, but anyway, I told him if you feed kids a healthy dient a little fruit jouce is find and you could alternately give them water, and he is like just cause something is natural does not mean it is good, and I did not say that. I was like fruit jouce has the natural sweetners that God gives you and he is like god gives you too much sugar. I was all, you are wrong. And I cannot convince him, but I really love him and hope to stay with him and I really want to get married. I could not allow our kids to have that cause it is dangerous and I dont want him to die of cancer either. And I think that causes diebetes cause it slows the matabolism. I told him there are natural non calories sweetners and that a little honey is better than sugar. He is like a sales man for artificial sweetners! How do I convince him he is wrong?

Ehhh...why not just not even give the kids fruit juice or artificial sweeteners? i mean, they're both good alternatives for white sugar and soda, but both aren't healthy in the long run for your kids, so dont even get em started on em. use all natural honey instead of the artificial sweeteners and just drink water mainly instead of the juice, but its good once in awhile.

Can ya'll compromise & use stevia or xylitol? After being poisoned by aspartame, I'm afraid of all chemicals.
