Why Fanta in UK Has Far Less Sugar Than the Version Sold in India

This stark difference has drawn attention from nutrition experts, prompting debate about varying product standards across markets. The UK introduced a sugar tax, formally known as the Soft Drinks Industry Levy, which incentivised beverage companies to significantly reduce sugar in their products. No equivalent policy exists in India, meaning manufacturers face little financial pressure to reformulate high-sugar drinks. Experts argue that such regulatory differences directly explain why the same branded product can have vastly different nutritional profiles depending on the country of sale.

Apollo 15's 'Genesis Rock' Offers Window Into Moon's 4-Billion-Year-Old Crust

Apollo 15 astronauts discovered an unusually bright rock near Spur Crater on the lunar surface.

Its mineral composition provides important insights into the early geological history of the Moon. Researchers continue to study the ancient sample to better understand how the Moon formed and evolved.
