Freakshakes - Action on Sugar calling for a ban.

Kisthecat what is your evidence that this research was commissioned by the sugar industry. To assume it was funded by the sugar industry is not an adequate response to evidence that conflicts by your firmly held beliefs.

To not be horrified that something so unhealthy is being targeted at humans, whatever their age betrays a passivity that I can only put down to s lifetime of fluoride consumption.
Another wopping assumption, this time about me without any evidence to back it up.

No food is unhealthy, not even sugar, a small amount of sugar in a well-balanced and varied diet does no harm at all. An excessive consumption of sugar, is of course very harmful and while President Trump might argue that point, I doubt if any one else would.

So I repeat sugar consumption does not cause children to be hyper active. Excessive sugar consumption will cause all kinds of other health problems, but not instant hyper activity after consuming it.

I would rather a little sugar than the aspartame stuff or other artificial sweeteners was targeted at humans.

Everything in moderation - except for aspartame which should be banned imo.
The milkshake described in the OP does not sound like moderation.

Just off to eat some birthday cake

If its a chocolate cake Jalima save me a slice please

MOnica sorry if I was rude. It is my opinion based on my own research, experience and beliefs. I agree that sugar in small amounts isn’t really a problem but we are all different and have different tolerance levels. Sugar is addictive. And when a person tips a balance sugar cravings are very intense, and in consideration of all the hidden sugars in food even a person who avoids it could end up consuming quite s lot.
This freakshake is the type of thing that could tip that balance in a child. Thankfully it appears from the comments that lot of people just can’t stomach it.
It’s a bit like alcohol, if you overindulge you will start to crave it and doing this just once can put you on a potentially self-destructive path.
I’m horrified by it anyway. I have a child who is most certainly affected by sugars, additives, too much meat even so while he has treats I would never give him something like this, what’s the point?
So it wasn’t directed at you, I read a lot of comments and was just surprised at how blasé some people are. Food has changed a lot in the last 20/30 years, not in a good way.

Kisthecat, thank you for your apology. I do not think this product is aimed at children, it is far too big, more likely aimed at young adults and I doubt they sell many, just the occasional one to someone showing off.

The picture of it probably just looks good on the menu and in advertising.

No, it wasn't.
Pandering to DH who doesn't like it sodapop
Strange.

chocolate yes, but in any other form like cake, no.
