so is it actually bad for you or not
>>22040598everything is bad for you. please stay scared and full of doubt.
it started giving me vestibular migraines that lasted for days, so I had to cut it out
>>22040598ive heard some things like maybe trick feeding your gut biome into eating food with zero energy and then dying isn't great, but it's obviously known that normal sugar in it's place isn't the best thing either. Whatever it is, fake sugar or not, best to consume in moderation like all things
>>22040598I will never trust fake sugar. I'd rather just not eat sweet things than cope with sugar substitutes
>>22040598it's fine
>>22040598probably
not any worse than actual sugar or other carcinogens you eat daily
>>22040598Always gave me a headache without fail
>>22040598fake sugars are ALWAYS bad for you.
>>22040680this except that fake sugar also taste nasty, and has a nasty after taste.
>>22040598aspartame is classified as a 2b carcinogen. for context, pickled vegetables and aloe vera are also classified as 2b carcinogens. so you're completely safe as long as you down chug 14+ bottles of diet soda. of course, diet soda is still fairly unhealthy for other reasons, but it's still healthier than sugary soda.aspartame is overrated anyways. sucralose and acesulfame-K are superior flavor-wise (and have also been proven to be safe in reasonable quantities).
Studies has shown it do not have the same diet impact as foregoing sugar entirely. That is all there is to it, and that should be taken at face value. Aspartame will give you some of the cravings as eating sugar or other very high glycemic foods. It won't spike your blood, but it will give you the cravings.The microbiome things might be entirely correct, but at what time scale?
>>22040598Who cares if it's "good for you"?It tastes awful. Just drink sugar but don't guzzle down a gallon a day like an animal.
>>22041271Fucking this. This shit always leaves an awful chemical aftertaste and I'm sick of everything using it nowadays instead of sugar.
>>22041230>completely safe as long as you down chug 14+ bottles of diet sodaFrom the ages of 9-15 I stopped drinking water and subsisted exclusively off of caffeine free diet Dr. Pepper, occasionally Diet Coke. What's gonna happen to me, doc?>>22041290Most drinks have switched over to sucralose (Splenda) when it became cheaper. It used to be kinda expensive when it was first introduced. Totally ruined the taste of Shasta soda which blends HFCS and Splenda for the worst of both worlds.
>>22041374the 14+ bottles is actually a pretty legitimate figure from the most recent studieslike you physically cannot drink the amount of diet soda required for it to become a statistically significant cancer risk, you would have a drastically higher chance of drowning if you tried
More than aspardomesticated, not as much as asparwild.
>>22041374I actually meant 14+ bottles per day, not like, in general. So yeah you're fine.
>>22041390
>>22041259So how do I stop craving sugar?
Not.
>>22043413You can't. Your brain runs on sugar. Just eat it in moderation and you'll be fine.
