I am glad there is evidence being published about this, now maybe Irn Bru will bring back the proper ginger! I would rather pay more for an occasional treat than have to go without in every eatery because they only stock diet stuff (which makes me ill and tastes grim).

About time. Tax the sweeteners instead.

So fed up of mixed messages aimed at trying to get us to be healthier which are actually making things worse

every sweetener i've tried gives me a bad stomach so i stick sugar now, just a smaller amount of it. Every single time i have sweeteners, i get cramps, bloating, wind and loose movements. sugar might not be the greatest thing for health either but it doesn't have the same impact on my stomach that sweeteners do

What is worrying is that the sweeteners may be added without being labelled in other foods too. I think there needs to be better regulation and labelling of sweetener free foods so that we have a choice to avoid them if possible.

I know other people who get ill after having sweeteners and just hadn't made the connection until I suggested it. More publicity of this research would be good.

Sweeteners give me the same as OneNight says so I read labels and avoid but I sometimes get those symptoms when I know I haven’t eaten anything with sweeteners listed. They must be in other foods and not listed.
