Food packaging and labeling

So thrilled to find that the apparently nice looking carbonated drink below does not just have lemon, lime and bitters, fruit juice and natural flavours (& no added sugar) in it.

It contains also:
Variously; artificial sweeteners, intense sweeteners, sugar substitutes.
There are indications that these things change the human microbiome.
With unknown outcomes.

Supplements
Just realised that my nice cheap vitamin C tablets are sweetened with sucralose.

And drugs com tells me, "... it is not expected to have a major effect on your health".

A single pimple wouldn't be worth getting from this stuff as I value things.
And any major health effect will be unexpected?

Oh good, and I expected all the family's "major health effects" from Covid, through cancer & Alzheimers to hemorrhagic stroke?
