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.
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.
That way you might come to the conclusion that car-centric infrastructure might be the problem, and we can’t have that. Quick, demonise some household item as a distraction! Spatulas cause erectile dysfunction! Let’s talk about that ad nauseam.
It’s a good start, but not even close to being enough. It helps with one of the dozens of problems that car-centrism causes, and tail pipe emissions are only part of the emission package, and none of that is good
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.
Little is known about the impacts that ASBs pose on health, especially those used in beverages like DS. As discussed above, some findings have been made about their relation to cardiometabolic implications, but these findings remain controversial.
Why in the fuck y’all linking the studies without reading? Or do you think people around you are also stupid and nobody can actually read what you linked? Do you think we would be intimidating by big words or something. Fuck.
? Did you read the conclusion, which is what the researchers believe you should take from these findings? I picked some random paper because this is well established that they have negative effects
The excessive consumption of these beverages does indeed pose a threat to health, as it impacts many organs and systems.
Some of the risks are listed as follows: mental health (including incidental mood disorders such as depression and eating disorders such as bulimia); delays in child neurodevelopment when consumed by mothers during pregnancy; cardiac remodeling (increased LAD and LVM); evidence of worsening retinopathy as well as increased HbA1c in diabetics; increased urinary symptoms in women; incidental ESRD, a modest association between consumption of ASB and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as well as multiple myeloma in men, incidental rheumatoid arthritis in women; increased risk of hip fractures in postmenopausal women; incidental dental erosion and caries; and finally, increases in BrAC when used in alcoholic beverages.
Is that how you read the articles? Is that how you expect everyone to read the articles? You just skip to conclusion and pretend that you now understand what it’s all about? Bloody hell, no wonder then. I know people like to link studies that don’t support their points, and I now get why, you actually think you do.
That is how you should read anything you are not an expert in, yes. A layperson can very often misunderstand what they are reading (mixing up correlation and causation for instance) and draws incorrect conclusions, so you defer to what the experts believe, i.e. their conclusion.
You should never, ever, under any circumstances, cherry-pick what parts of studies to read and use that to draw conclusions. You need to read all the words, experts believe all the words in the study they publish, unless it’s a citation predicated with “some idiots who are wrong also saying:”.
Whoever told you your way of reading lied to you, possibly taught you wrong way on purpose as a joke.

Common misconception and misread of the facts. They way they are used, they’re fine.
Still tastes like artificial shit tho. You can steralize shit all you want I’m still not eating it.

I would be more worried about air quality

Most big cities in EU do, only euro 6 cars can pass or electric, or electric buses.
It’s a good start, but not even close to being enough. It helps with one of the dozens of problems that car-centrism causes, and tail pipe emissions are only part of the emission package, and none of that is good
Okay, still tastes like complete ass tho.
I think is a coriander like thing where only some people taste it bad.
Do you mean cilantro? And maybe
coriander is cilantro in English.
I hate when murricans don’t translate words to sound fancy, or mean the Mexican version of something.
I’ve only seen coriander seed, and even in Texas everyone I know Mexican or not calls it cilantro.
what has mexico to do with this?
According to google, cilantro/coriander is kizbara in Lebanese, if we are bringing random countries to the table.
Idk ask the first commenter. I just didn’t realize they were the same as they’re never sold under the same name in my area.

I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can ingest fake sweeteners and not be disgusted, they taste so wrong.
So stevia is fake, because it comes from the leaf of a plant instead of from the root or the cane?

I’m not sure if this includes Stevia but artificial sweeteners have some pretty bad long term effects
