  Uhm, source??

  I love how people just feel like artificial sweeteners must be bad for you. They’re okay. Not healthy, but way better than sugar.

  Also: Coke can still be kinda unhealthy, other ingredients etc…

    For transparency, here is another page that seems more in favor of Aspartame: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy

    Here’s the conclusion of Yuka, which is a lot more on the “alarmist” side: help.yuka.io/l/en/article/r2x5e36paq-aspartame

    Many studies show that artificial sweeteners doesn’t help with weight loss at all

      Having less calories helps? Those ppl they studied likely didnt practice cico and ate more because they thought they saved calories from drinking less soda so they ended up at maintenence or over

        The links I listed are only about the artificial sweeteners, not sugar-free sodas

        But the main thing is: it makes you want more sugar, so you’ll end up consuming more, which doesn’t help or even makes weight regulation worse. You’ll end up getting the calories in a way or another, hopefully from good sources though

      in what situation is low temp vapor worse than burning smoke and ash in your lungs, ignore the chemicals, which are always better in vapes, even american spirit all natural tobacco have chemicals and aren’t really all natural, tar is always worse

        In the situation that you are putting food flavorings in your lungs. Not made to go there… if you’re just vaping pure pg / vg that’s different. Look up popcorn lung for an example of why food flavorings should not be inhaled.

    Diet and sugar-free sodas are all marketing BS. It’s all meant to get one to think it’s “healthy” rather than “less terrible”

    I’d agree otherwise, else Coke Zero wouldn’t exist I guess.

    Everyone cares for their health, they just think it’s “not that bad”

      I’m not a doctor but my understanding of the topic is that it’s pretty clear : any soda is bad.

      Sure, a Coke a week, in a cocktail or otherwise, does not matter much but AFAIK people who buy entire packs (as in the photo) drink sodas at every meal and that’s unhealthy over long term, no matter what brand or type of soda it is.

      So assuming that’s a well known medical fact and people still do it, then one can say they do NOT care for their health, no?
