It is banned in Russia, zero effect.
Edit: Prohibition on advertising is not prohibition on alcohol. I reject the relevance of this suggested equivalency. There is no risk of organized crime getting supercharged by a prohibition on alcohol advertisements.

Not all white bread is identical either. Sugar content may vary a lot from brand to brand. Glycemic index too.
