Revealed: WHO aspartame safety panel linked to alleged Coca-Cola front group - Lemmy.world

I always find it amusing that people have been like “well it doesn’t cause weight loss!”

It doesn’t.

Is it water better than diet soda? Absolutely. But no one is replacing water with diet soda. They’re replacing coke with Diet Coke. Or whatever.

Which means fewer calories which means potential weight loss (or for lower weight gain. CICO.) the problem is that most people who drink doet sodas tend to have a lot of other dietary habits that are equally awful as slamming back a 12 pack of Mountain Dew everyday…(eew.)

As for aspartame causing cancer… I dunno. But I’m guessing it’s lower than the threat being obese makes. S

I explicitly know if at least two people, whom I’ve met, who claimed that they refused to drink “just water”. It was always either soft drinks, juice, or water with flavoring, which often uses either aspartame or sucralose.

Dunno if it was diet drink, but still…

W. C. Fields didn’t drink water. “Fish fuck in it.” But he didn’t drink soft drinks either. All of the liquid in his diet was obtained from booze.
The man must have one giant dandruff flake.

Did have (he died in 1946).

His face tells the tale tho.
