[QUOTE="Silkroad77, post: 1863954, member: 488679"] Er hello folks, Before I go on, I have a sweet tooth so ouch! I've been wondering this, and wondering this for a long time... Why is it in supermarkets & health food shops, you can get gluten free, dairy free, wheat free, dairy free-but absolutely **** options for sugar free? BTW I consider sweeteners, such as maltitose/isomalt/sucralose/saccharin/aspartame a bad option, as is agave syrup, and xylotil-depending on its source. Why do you often get 'warning excessive consumption may produce laxative effects' on sugar-free Diabetic friendly options? I hope I'm not the only Diabetic who is bothered by this-why does everything have to be dairy/gluten/wheat free, and yet Diabetes which is a disease many more people have then those with Coeliacs or dairy or wheat etc allergies. Also why do people have to lump sugar free with dairy free/gluten free/wheat free-when yes these foods TASTE AWFUL! I don't want ***** sweeteners, but neither do I want the entire 'everything' free options-with a nasty texture and no taste whatsoever! Why do only 2 out of 17,5000 products have stevia-and why are they basic **** like vanilla ice-cream, and mint chewing gums? I don't get it, do they think people with Diabetes only like vanilla ice cream & mint chewing gum? Yes sure there is the cost of production-but there are loads of Diabetic people in this country-and to be honest I wouldn't mind paying more, for a nice sweet treat. I'm not being nasty to those with Coeliac disease, nor those who cannot tolerate dairy products etc-it just annoys me that Diabetes, which is one of the biggest diseases in the UK but also the western world-is ignored, not catered for, and given **** options such as -everything free, or 'laxative effects-if taken in abundance' I am going to say it-it's become trendy for people to not want gluten in their diet-of course it's different if you genuinely cannot eat gluten, say what you want-most people (who don't have a medical condition) avoid gluten because it's a trend! There have to be others out there like me-I cannot be the only one annoyed, can I? Surely somebody else has a sweet tooth as well? Yes as for fruit-well sometimes I feel like a piece of cake, or biscuits. Edited by moderator for language [/QUOTE]
