I think its just you and your bad genetics

aspartame IS bad for you, but it has nothing to do with how it tastes.

>>21966652
Of course it does. Meat tastes good and meat is good for you. Vegetables taste bad and they're bad for you.

>candy tastes good
>doesn't eat tons of it
>meat only tastes good with spices (plants) on it
poor schizo ngmi

>>21966607
I don't know but it makes me really, really hungry which defeats the purpose. Also it tastes bad.

>>21966793
>>meat only tastes good with spices (plants) on it
All you need is salt, that is unless you POOR POO, and then the only """meat""" you are eating is some rotten shit.

>>21966793

I found him /ck/s most cancerous poster complaining about spices other that salt being "third world" as he sits in his 300 person town in arkansas

>complaining about spices other that salt being "third world"
so, you can't read
>300 person town in arkansas
and you're a smug, sanctimonious, elitist prick

there's zero evidence that it's bad for your health. people will say it is but can't provide any proof. it's been studied extensively for various harmful effects and every one has turned up nothing.

it's possible it might desensitize you to sweetness if you drink a ton of it but that doesn't really have any adverse health effects. you get desensitized to heat if you eat a bunch of really spicy food too. so what?

>tying himself into a pretzel to justify drinking chemical slop

>>21966607
if you consume a lot of regular sugar it'll do the same thing. it's because you're constantly flooding your tastebuds with something very sweet so that becomes the baseline.

there are other reasons why someone might dislike fruit since a lot of fruit in stores is underripe but it wouldn't surprise me if some people dislike it because they can't taste its sweetness.

>Vegetables taste bad and they're bad for you.
>don't eat vegetables for a while
>actually start dreaming about eating lettuce and craving it while awake
explain that one

>>21966800
>spices were used to hide the fact that meat is rotten
where did this bullshit incel timmy narrative come from? you're telling me that the british east india company controlled the global spice market because they were eating rotten meat?

>>21967329
It's been going on ever since spices became more affordable. Wealthy Europeans who bought and used spices to show off started thinking they were bad once poorer people could afford them too.

Spices don't even really work to cover up rotten meat anyway. If you've ever taken a bite of rotten meat nothing will cover that up. I did read that jerk seasoning in Jamaica was used to deal with the very strong taste of wild boar but everyone crying about spices and rotten meat online is just desperate to feel superior to someone.

>>21966607
artificial sweeteners are actually much sweeter than anything natural. thats why they can sweeten things "calorie free", because you only need a fraction of a gram of aspartame or whatever to sweeten a whole soda, whereas for sugar you need like 40 grams.
people get addicted to diet drinks because theyre sweeter than anything they had been drinking up to that point.

fruit tastes good depending on the country
france - fruit good
britain - fruit meh

>>21966607
i have a frankly disgusting diet coke habit, I prefer it to normal soda because I find it too sweet
I've not noticed any particularly bland fruit which ironically is probably why I don't eat enough fruit

>>21966607
Aspartame LITERALLY gave me a throbbing headache whenever I drink it

diet soda has a weird aftertaste. if i want sugar bomb i just eat airheads

>>21967176
what a disgusting lie

>>21967509
>too sweet
if you drink a coke and a coke zero back to back it's clear that coke zero is sweeter than regular coke

>>21967176
All of the studies I’ve read indicate that it HAS NOT been studied extensively and needs more research. Literally, all of them say this, even the WHO

aspartame metabolizes to formaldehyde in the liver
do with this info as you will

>>21966607
Processed sugary foods and drinks overload your tastebuds, making it hard to appreciate the natural sweetness from fruits. Vegetables also become dull.

>>21966607
I suspect yes. I gave up all soda years ago, ditto for most junk food like chips and other highly processed packaged food. Switched to carbonated water for my fizzy fix, and fruit - fresh or dried - for my snacks. Eventually I noticed the same thing.

>>21968255
your body is constantly producing formaldehyde on its own as a natural process, in greater concentrations than a diet coke ever would

>>21968255
okay, I did this
>The answer is **True**, but with a very important caveat regarding the amount and how your body handles it.
>Here is the breakdown of what happens when you consume aspartame:
>### The Metabolic Process: When you ingest aspartame, your digestive system breaks it down into three components:
1. **Phenylalanine** (50%)
2. **Aspartic acid** (40%)
3. **Methanol** (10%)
>The **methanol** is then sent to the liver, where enzymes (alcohol dehydrogenase) convert it into **formaldehyde**.
>### Why Context Matters: While the statement is technically true, it often causes alarm because formaldehyde is a known toxin. However, toxicologists and health researchers emphasize the following points to put it into perspective:
>***The Dosage is Tiny:** The amount of formaldehyde produced from a diet soda is significantly less than what you get from natural sources. For example, a glass of tomato juice or even a piece of fruit can produce several times more methanol (and thus formaldehyde) than a serving of aspartame.
>***Rapid Conversion:** Formaldehyde doesn't sit in your liver. It is an intermediary metabolite, meaning the body converts it almost instantly into **formate** (formic acid), which is then broken down into water and carbon dioxide or excreted.
>***Natural Presence:** Your body actually produces formaldehyde naturally as part of normal cellular metabolism. At any given moment, there is a measurable amount of formaldehyde in your blood that is far higher than what you would receive from a sugar-free beverage.
>### Summary: While it is **true** that aspartame metabolizes into formaldehyde, the process is a normal part of how the body handles many common foods, and the levels produced are generally considered well within the body's capacity to safely process.

you have to eat a shit ton of aspartame for it to actually do something bad for you

coke zero is not diet coke, I also find coke zero too sweet.

>>21966607
It's not because of the aspartame, dumb ass, it's because you've been going so long without refined sugar, that your taste buds have gone back to the way they always were meant to be, before you started sucking down corn syrup and then switching to aspartame to wean yourself off of corn syrup.
I did the same thing, my first step in getting away from corn syrup and refined sugar was just switching to diet soda, eventually I stopped wanting any kind of soda at all. Then everything I ate started tasting far too sweet, and I stopped eating that stuff entirely. Now, I see why kings used to eat fresh fruit and honey and thought they were living large, in ancient times.
