M&S artificial sweetener back in diet drinks

[Nixx2121]

I was happily buying M&S low calorie soda/soft drinks because they didn’t contain the nasty artificial sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfame K, saccharine & sucralose). I found out by accident that they’ve started using sucralose in their soft drinks. Does anyone know of any other soft drinks without the nasty artificial sweeteners in them?

Do you mean unsweetened drinks?

I sometimes buy the aqua libra or dash ones. They are flavoured but unsweetened sparkling water.

Or do you mean sweetened with some other kind of sweetener? I’d always just just assumed all diet drinks were made with artificial sweeteners, but maybe I’m wrong on that.

Hiya, we’ve tried the unsweetened water & it was great when M&S did more soft drinks like diet/low cal lemonade that said no artificial sweetener & plant based sweetener (stevia) but noticed by accident they’ve gone back to a chemical sweetener, sucralose. It’s chlorinated & chemically modified. Lots of research linking it to various negative health outcomes

Yes, I’ve noticed this too. Is it a permanent thing? Aqua Libra is nice, sparking water with juice.

There are a few brands with no sweeteners, but they're not zero calorie, they are 20-30 calories per 100ml :
Soda Folk
Dalston's
