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
