    TBH good, drink some water you’ll be healthier. And FUCK artificial sweeteners that shit is straight chemical cancer. I fucking hate when I get Stevia or Splenda or Sucralose etc, they all taste like chemical garbage.

      artificial sweeteners that shit is straight chemical cancer

      Common misconception and misread of the facts. They way they are used, they’re fine.

      Sweeteners like aspartame have been intensely researched because the health scare that used to be around it, Is still considered totally safe so “Straight chemical cancer” is false, it is not.

      Probably there are way worse thinks that we don’t know around somewhere that affect us way worse than diet cola lol.

      Straight up Stevia isn’t too bad. It comes from the leaves of a plant and if anything is often sweeter tasting per volume than sugar. That doesn’t mean people should be drinking soft drinks with it in great volume versus water, but it’s an acceptable substitute IMO to sugar in coffee or the occasional drink and still better than cane sugar. Soft drinks contain plenty of other shit that’s not particularly good for you in addition to the sweeteners too.

      Sucralose is nasty stuff, and Splenda is just a brand, with their “sweetener” containing a bit of Sucralose in their chemical cocktail “sugar substitute” in addition to hefty doses of dextrose/maltodexrin as bulking agents.
