Not if it ain't available. Gradually phase such foods out.

The underground market (sugar-smuggling) will be huge.

Probably but when people see their improved health maybe it would die a natural death (no pun intended) .

It used to be a sign of wealth to be fat but nowadays you can get to be the side of a barn on next to no income.

Re: NHS Sorted!

So you would phase out fruit and the like ? phase out bread, and anything using sugar ? rather bleak existence and not very healthy either as fruit gives us many vitamins etc

since I became allergic to fruit I have to take vitamin pills daily I suppose we could all do that, and also how would you stop people growing fruit in their gardens ? police have enough to deal with without dawn raids on cherry growers or apple tree growers.

Many vegetables contain sugar too so no more peas, carrots, parsnips etc.

Re: NHS Sorted!

OK refined sugar so still no bread etc you have to use refined sugar in many things or the recipes won't work, chemically it just won't rise.
