In short:
Dozens of people across Australia have shared their experiences of vitamin B6 toxicity with 7.30.
Terri-Lynne South, a GP and dietitian, says the number of cases is likely to be under-reported.
What’s next:
The TGA says it is considering a proposal to tighten regulations, including changes to where and how B6 vitamins are sold.
aren’t all vitamins synthetic? they’re not extracting them from real food and then saying it’s not a substitute for real food … are they?
Sometimes (though I don’t know what proportion) vitamins/minerals in products are actually “food-sourced”. As far as I know, there is (sometimes) some legitimate reason to do so regarding bioavailability etc.
I’m waiting for someone to do the same for the “All-Natural” stevia; in almost all “Sugar Free” and “No Sugar” products that aren’t still using Aspartame or Sucralose.
As bad as Sugar is for us, (and as terrible as Fructose is for us), I am confident that Stevia is worse.
I used to much the leaves of the Stevia biswh we had in our garden. Quite tasty :)
Already done, look for research about Type 2 diabetes and sweeteners. Sugar is better.
the mere taste of sweetness illicits an insulin response. all non-sugar sweeteners are bad in the same way
Vegemite? It’s vegemite isn’t it? Shit should be illegal to feed to dogs.
You can put B6 in the headline.
Ah sorry, I didn’t realize the auto-headline didn’t already do it, I was in a rush :(
I’ll swap it for the alternative ABC headline that isn’t click-optimized
Yeah, with ABC articles the last couple of years, generally the headline that appears on the page itself is far better than the sharing metadata headline.
