Missing full sugar Fanta Dr pepper and other drinks

Again; look at the processing aspect. Oranges are full of sugar - bound to fibre, but you'd be really going some to peel and eat enough oranges for it to be an issue.

On the other hand, take 6 oranges, chuck them in a processor, strip out the fibre and you stepping towards unhealth eating

Fruit eaters wanting to have 5 a day (or the new 7 a day guidance) may well have quite a bit of fruit. Not just oranges.
Perhaps an orange, some watermelon, a few strawberries etc in a day. Multiple fruit intake.
Though helping with the low water intake that appears to be an issue for some doctors.

How many people have you met who are deficient in salt? And how difficult is it to rectify?

Probably a dozen or more. And we rectify by adding salt when its available. At home I have a little salt shaker I top up every couple of months.

Was in a couple of hospitals recently for a few days at a time.
One hospital we didn't have salt at all and the food was extremely bland and basically inedible. The other hospital we had salt sachets on the meal trays. Food slightly more edible and not so bland even without the salt.

Funny how much dietary advice revolves around the exceptions rather than the rules

In particular people selling 'diet' love to talk about deficiencies. How many people have you met who are deficient in protein? Yet a huge industry is emerging badging Mars Bars or any other **** with the word 'Protien' with the sub text that it is somehow healthy

Again, if you eat a natural diet and you are deficient in protein (or anything else), it is fairly easy to add in protein-rich foods, or even supplements.

Being real though, Excess is about 1,000 time bigger problem than deficiency

I suspect most of us in the UK have an excess of protein unless we restrict it in our diets.

We were told eggs were bad for us. Now they are not.
We were told that certain fats were bad for us. Now they are not.
The health people tell us that salt is bad for us, now its sugar, perhaps next time it will be flour.

I'm pretty sure there are people who are not going to be happy until we conform to their view of the world. By stopping certain foods and drinks because those people don't like them.

Lol. I think the science behind the danger of processed sugar is fairly sound.

However as the op points out it does potentially open up a new market.
