"Sugar-Free"

How many times have I heard friends or even family members (NOT those living in my house) boast that the product they just consumed was sugar-free. As if that's something to be proud of. Ok, it's sugar-free. Fabulous, you read the front label generated for marketing purposes only. Now let's turn the container, box, jar, whatever OVER and read the list of ingredients on the back. Yes, it is in small print so you hopefully won't read it. What's listed there? On your sugar-free "foods" you're right, you won't see sugar listed but what will you see? Anything you don't recognize, can't pronounce, manufactured in a lab? I think we would all agree food is supposed to be grown in the ground, not concocted in a lab.
