A Griffith University study published in BMJ Public Health on Wednesday found a levy applied to non-alcoholic drinks with added sugar, such as soft drinks and most juices, could prevent 3.7 million cases of tooth decay, 191,000 cases of gum disease, and 115,000 cases of complete tooth loss across Australia over the next 25 years.

    I’ve always believed that just like some people hate coriander (cilantro), some people hate certain sweeteners. Like it’s a genetic thing where they can taste things others cannot. Most people I speak to seem to enjoy Stevia and Aspartame for some reason, but I can’t stand it

      I’m one of the people who find that coriander (cilantro) soapy, but I have grown accustomed to it.

      I’d believe it - aspartame has an effect on me like fucking cocaine. Ramped up speed monster. I avoid the hell out of it
