I'm sick of getting headaches from sweeteners and every soft drink in the UK tasting like plastic so I've decided to make a video where I cuss out Jamie Oliver because he's a smug prat and he ruined everything https://youtu.be/OGu5FX7Uu3s

I thought the sweeteners causing headaches was a myth? I ate nothing but sugar alternatives for two years in a row until I broke it and I never got additional headaches from it....just the usual one I normally have
Not to get into my own bullshit when I was having really bad chronic headaches, but I did an elimination diet and once I stopped getting things with aspartame in it my headaches miraculously disappeared and a quick search yields some papers suggesting a link with that one specifically.
Counterpoint: refined sugar is so unbelievably unnatural that it is actually poisoning our bodies that are not equipped to deal with having unfettered access to the stuff. IMO the sugar tax should be 100,000% and directed straight into making fresh fruit and veg insanely cheap
In any sane society sugar would be treated more like cocaine but as we are now I'm able to buy a fucking cake for the same price as a bag of good quality apples.
He's a prick. And I have serious reservations about his restaurant's insolvency (though I haven't seen the paperwork so can't actually know if he was improper).
Oh. And he put his name on so much cheap kitchen tat for money.
But, he had a really big positive impact on British home cooking.

I usually use stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, allulose, and other such things.
I didn't realize there were papers to back up headaches from using aspartame, thank you
