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.

Sugar in fruit is perfectly healthy, it does not have the same negative health effects as processed sugars. This website has links to studies as the sources if you want to read them. If you don't know much about nutrition, that is one of the best websites to learn. It's non-profit, has the info available for free there and on YouTube and provides all the studies supporting it. A lot of what the general public thinks about diet was designed by food corporations who have no interest in your health or wellbeing
