Yay, more sugar alcohols causing allergies, stomach cramps and the shits. Millions of people suffering reduced productivity and lower life quality. But we got to punish the poor/fat people for being poor/fat.

I've always believed that just like some people hate coriander (cilantro), some people hate certain sweeteners. Like it's a genetic thing where they can taste things others cannot. Most people I speak to seem to enjoy Stevia and Aspartame for some reason, but I can't stand it

Taking glucose-fructose out of drinks and replacing with sweeteners accomplishes nothing. The rush of insulin starts from the sensation of sweetness, before blood glucose levels spike. The brain signals the pancreas to be ready.

The US switched to sweeteners and diabetes rates skyrocketed decades after. The actual safety of amino acid analogs is still suspect but it's a massive industry corrupt with governments.

What needs to be regulated is the bliss point of how much sweetness is allowed in drinks, and to tax sweet drinks, including juices and use the money to subsidize flavored fizzy waters with no sweetness, and just water. It is INSANE what we allow Nestle to charge for water.
