United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I did say "controversially" and "potentially" :)
I think it was the WHO who mentioned it last year, but it keeps cropping up each year from various university studies - of course I'll have only ever read the news reports of those studies.
I absolutely agree though, I'd be highly suspicious of sugar company (or high-fructose-syrup) lobbying.
Personally my preference is for "things to just be less sweet" (like why does some bread or soup have sugar in now?!?), though I suspect it's a bit of a minority opinion :)
