Rejected petition S.O.S save our sugar
Stop putting sweeteners in our products
More details
With so many of us not able to tolerate sweeteners we are having to be extra carefull with what we buy. It has a nasty taste and can cause bloating, sickness and diarrhoea to name a few. Not only is it in our food ànd drink but is in toothpaste and mouthwash which is near impossible to purchase without sweeteners in. The blame for obesity has been targeted with the consumption of to much sugar yet you take it out of our food and it's made no difference apart from the fact that we are now becoming ill due to the sweeteners. Rather than replace sugar with sweeteners why not make less sugar products exactly that and add less sugar and not replace sugar with sweeteners.
