Forget it Jake, it's cybertown.


as far as i recall artificial sweeteners work by basically being unprocessable and therefore yielding no calories. so they go right through you - whether or not that’s fine or something decades from now people are going to look back and laugh at as a case of stupid unregulated practices is a matter of waiting. thanks for being part of the experiment beep!

"chemical whatever is really stable so it's harmless" has had a few hiccups over the years, cfcs and microplastics probably being the two most notable cases. so yeah i don't find the argument convincing

non-nutritive sweeteners are pretty much uniformly healthier than consuming something with equivalent amounts of sugar, much in the way that vaping is healthier than combusting. so if the comparison were to og cola (i noticed recently that they have a sugar-free version of coke classic now so they've renamed coke classic as coke original taste here)

generally speaking super sweeteners are probably going to have the least significant impact versus something that is used in similar physical quantities to traditional sugars.

but they're usually all totally different molecules, and likely all processed (or not) differently by your body. the biggest risk, perhaps, is that some might trick your body into getting ready to process sugar or cause cravings. there's almost no good evidence showing any of these to do anything interesting in humans in vivo.

gets stuck all over the place in your body and stays there. turns out that you don't have to chemically react with other stuff to be deleterious to biological processes if you just gum up all that cellular machinery that assembles and folds proteins, or opens to let ions into or out of a cell, or all of those other purely physical processes

i used to drink a lot of diet coke. for some reason aspartame tastes fine to me that way but it’s off putting in any other beverage. I used to put splenda in my coffee and thought it tasted fine, but I stopped drinking all artificial sweeteners for a while when I was trying to stave off depression. now when I have a coffee with splenda and i think it tastes gross. i very rarely drink soda, and i drink my coffee black or with just a little bit of brown sugar. thanks for reading

artificial sweeteners might not impart calories, but they still gently caress with your body OP

They send signals to your brain that say "eyyyy, sugar incoming lmao", and in response your brain does things like
- spike your insulin
- increase stomach acid production
- make you feel hungry

Your gut bacteria also adjusts to them over time, which maybe isn't ideal since your gut bacteria interacts with most of your body's regulatory systems.

Ditch the sweet drinks, artificial or otherwise. Drink unsweetened beverages and live a happy life.
