Can anyone from #Britain #UK please explain to me why every single beverage needs to have artificial sweeteners in it?
I mean, I understand the impulse with sodas. I'd still rather have a real-sugar soda & just have them less frequently as a way of cutting down sugar, but I can understand that there's a "we need to find a way to get kids eating less sugar" issue, and kids don't have the impulse control and foresight to choose other things.
But WHY in juice? Instant coffee? Lemon water?!?

@Polywog@lgbtqia.space A fine example of a captured regulator shirking its duties by allowing an artificial chemical sweetener to be put in everything before the product safety is assessed. https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-med-043024-012626
