Review policy promoting diet drinks to children & sweeteners in regular drinks.
Lack of openness and discussion: insufficient evidence about long-term effects of sweeteners generally, and additional concerns about specific ones for children, namely aspartame – on food labels – and related neotame and advantame, not necessarily listed on the label. Promoted as healthy options!
@Food Matters Live, Nov 2016 a question of concern was blocked: a citation of concerns was removed from Wikipedia: an examination of evidence (inc. Eur J Clin Nutr. 2007;61:691-700 Diabetes Care. 2012;35:1798-808. Am J Clin Nutr. 2013;97(3):517-23.) by Harvard SPH concluded children should not be given beverages where sweeteners have been used: review of 72 studies, pub. Jan.17, PLOS concluded ASBs should not be promoted as part of a healthy diet. http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1002195
