    It is still healthier than the damage sugar does to your metabolism. Sugar in its modern form doesn’t really serve a great purpose and basically only introduces inflammation. Sweeteners can get around this but I believe evidence supports that the “sweet” feeling still illicits some sort of physiological response with the metabolism. Still, it’s better to get only natural sugars in our food and use a light sweetener to help replace sugar. Over the years I’ve discovered I only like certain brands of stevia based flavor squirts. When I tried powderized stevia, I found the major brands used gross filler and had a bad aftertaste. Even Stevia in the Raw still has an organic option that uses sugar to bond the powder instead of the filler. I think it takes a lot of discovery and exploration. Sometimes, it also requires some Stockholm syndrome to finish whatever supply you wasted money on lol

    Yes, our US hotel industry has mostly been monopolized by Wyndham and a few other companies. They all build large hotels with the same layout. If you try and go under that price point you get stuck with motels, which have mostly been phased out by our culture from taboo & cleanliness anecdotes. Definitely a far fetch from the experience in Europe and other places. The closest we get is Airbnb like set-ups of personal homes rented out.
