I remember we had a user here so fat he had to take pills to help his diabetes and lose weight. He wasn't very bright though; he thought type 1 diabetes could be reversed by diet.
Several additives such as Yellow 5, 6, Red 2, Blue 2, E215, E219, E432, E439, E952, BVO, MSG, Ractopamine and many others that have not been proven safe. The system operates on a principle of banning until proven safe in order to prioritize consumer safety.
Also, fruits and vegetables treated with bee-toxic pesticides are banned, and it is not allowed to advertise food high in sugar, fat and salt before 9PM, both online and on TV.

What is the deal with Brits putting sucralose (Splenda) in sugared soft drinks? I was at a little British shop a while back and I wanted some Ribena and I checked the label and even though sugar is in there, sucralose is too and I cannot handle artificial sweeteners.
I could understand a diet version having artifical sweeteners but even the full-sugar version?

Ribena specifically is made with blackcurrants so the sugar in there will probably be natural sugars, and the sweetener because corporations love to get people addicted to their products with sweetness or fats.
Sugar tax. There was a controversy when Irn-Bru changed their recipe to adjust to it, as it's famously one of the most sugary drinks. They do the original recipe as Irn-Bru 1901

I haven't gotten that myself but Stevia really upsets my stomach and gives me terrible nausea. Nutrasweet does as well. They all taste very bad and artificial and I can detect their presence without being told.

I agree. It's 💩. I can't have sweeteners either, they give me migraines. Sainsbury's do a summer fruits high juice drink which is similar to Ribena but only has sugar. Coca Cola here still uses only sugar and fruit juices as well.
