1 Answer

Answer :

I think it is smart advertising. The commercial is non verbally telling you to read the labels of the food you eat. I know its in “everything”, but it is possible to avoid excessive amounts of it. It is true that it is nutritionally the same as sugar, and, like sugar, you shouldn’t eat too much of it. Just be smart about the things you buy. Maybe it is time for you to buy a new type of sausage.
