I think you are missing the entire point. Nestle puts sugar in the baby formula because it’s a physically addictive substance. A mother who buys the formula but later tries to switch to different formula will end up with a baby going through sugar withdrawals. I think it’s safe to assume the baby may not even feed until it’s given the Nestle formula.

This isn’t the first time Nestle has done something like this, they have a dark history. Some might even call them evil.

Plus all the long term health issues associated with giving children sugar. “Added sugar intake at an early age may have adverse life-long health consequences, including overweight, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, and dental caries, as well as worse dietary habits” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8624134/

And yes I think it should be regulated for children, based on the science it is a serious health issue.

Also you keep mentioning the “left” like this is some political discussion. This has nothing to do with politics. **I think most people would agree that using a legal addictive substance to hook babies to your product is a real dick move and something should be done to prevent it from happening. **

“Eating too much sugar can lead to weight gain, which then increases the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke and some cancers. But sugar also alters our mood and provides feelings of being rewarded and euphoria; hence the comparison to illegal drugs.” https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.ramsayhealth.co.uk/blog/lifestyle/is-sugar-more-addictive-than-cocaine&ved=2ahUKEwj-8KOjt8uFAxUT4skDHUPYBWAQFnoECEkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2ys5-XMhDhbu8-D39e9u4j

Yeah it should be regulated as a highly addictive substance. It shouldn’t be in baby formula.

I don’t know what you mean by “addictive as anything else”. We are talking about the relationship to how your brain reacts to these substances, using science. Based on that there’s only a handful of highly addictive substances out of millions of potentials.

This isn’t psychological addiction, we are talking about physical addiction. And sugar is comparable to the 2nd most addictive substance in the world, cocaine.

And you think that’s a good idea to give to infants?

You think that it shouldn’t face regulation?

Your argument is subjective and lacks substance. The facts are very clear here.

Sugar is roughly as addictive as cocaine.

So yeah, addiction is probably the end game.

My recipe box is another app that does the same thing. I haven’t looked at a recipe website in ages

Hulu built their entire system on this scam. Before Hulu, the majority of TV shows were available on their channel website for free, with ads. Hulu took this and added a subscription on top of the ads.

Advertisement:

"a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy. "

I’m not sure if a link can be considered an announcement, but otherwise based on the definition I would say it’s a gray area and could be argued either way.

Although I would tend to say it isn’t an advertisement but a link to one.

This all could be solved with a simple toggle for premium users to choose if they want to see these ads or not.

Every time I see an article from the verge all I can think of is Stefan and his disastrous PC Build video. The Verge lost all credibility after that for me

I agree, in my experience it’s usually some higher up making these dumb decisions. It happens to video games daily

If you are on windows 10 or earlier ,you can disable those. Not sure about 11. It’s just a few powershell commands.

Yeah, I was wondering why so many headlines about this, I thought he had done it a 2nd time.

Turns out his biography or something came out and this was mentioned in the book. So apparently this is to drum up attention for his book? Weird option to go with to sell a book.

It sure didn’t take long for the Russian troll bots to show up on Lemmy

Rewasd might work. Depends on what type of controller you are trying to emulate. I don’t know if they have an option for “joystick” emulation, but it can spoof your keyboard to act as a PS or Xbox controller
