Oh, I didn’t realize it was mostly artificial sweeteners. I just remembered trying it, and finding it cloyingly sweet compared to gatorade
Comment on Thanks, Logan.

The thing about fake sugar is that it’s seriously worse for you than the real thing. Fake sugar should really only be prized by diabetics and dentists.

Ah yes, the “we made rats eat 20kg of aspartame and they died” thing

First of all, you are referencing a study on saccharine, not aspartame.
Secondly, this is about obesity.

Idk, doesn’t seem that damning to me considering that people who have more body fat might tend to consume more artificial sweetener and other such factors.
Don’t have the time to look into the particular paper and other research right now though.

I dunno. I like drinking Coke Zero cocktails when I’m trying to lose weight. It works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
