How dare they!

Slightly OT...

I used to write advice leaflets for students travelling abroad

Our advice for dodgy tummies was that most of the proprietary medication (Dioralyte etc) required making up with the local water

Meanwhile Coke / Pepsi had an almost guaranteed standard, so the advice was to get a bottle of "full fat" (none of that namby pamby diet stuff) crack the top and leave for a few hours. Then drink the flat drink.

Contained lots of sugars and also lots of trace elements etc, so was a good way of rehydreating

No trace elements mentioned in the ingredients

I'm struggling to find any "food" these days that doesnt contain artificial sweetners.
Bloody hate the stuff. It leaves a horrid taste in the back of my throat

Soon we'll all live forever, but with the relentless march of sweeteners none of us will want to.

 

[Bollo]

I don't really mind sweeteners.

Dandelion and Burdock is better for a hangover

I swapped sugar for sweeteners in most things years ago, cannot stand the full fat stuff nowadays.

Sorry, hot afternoon and just woken up, but going back to the skinny water (about 3 pages ago), is this water from which all the deuterium oxide has been removed?

Fresh fruit, fresh veg, fresh meat, fish, eggs, rice, high quality pasta, homemade bread, homemade cakes, milk, natural yogurt....I'm sure there are plenty more foodstuff without artificial sweeteners, just avoid processed stuff ...

When McVities changed Digestives I wrote to them complaining and had a nice reply including a voucher, from there onwards we mostly eat Aldi's own brand

On occasion a full fat Irn Bru and a square sausage roll are called for
Or a full fat coke in the middle of, or at the end of a strenuous bike ride.
(Even the pro's do it)

Thanks for the obvious answer. Its not what I meant hence the quotation marks.
Most of our food is unprocessed. Freshly cooked.
There are a lot of things which we do also have that have been changing over the years

Good grief what a load of nonsense this thread is. Behave as grown ups and drink tea. Fizzy drinks are for kids and teenagers.

Gin and ????

More gin?

What next, Irn Bru with replacement Aluminium?

Isn't that the Irn Bru Xtra that they've started advertising recently?

 

[Tanis8472]

Yeah, extra sweeteners lol
