I haven’t bought any American brands for the past few weeks. Surprise surprise, my intake of soda and candy and unhealthy stuff has fallen like a stone.
If you really have to drink it, drink the zero versions of most sodas. Dr Pepper in particular has some really decent flavors without the gross aftertaste. Pepsi zero is also really good. Just stop drinking regular soda. We have the technology to make diet taste good now so use it.
I think the consensus on health effects of artificial sweeteners is unclear so long as you only consume a reasonable amount. There are plenty of other synthetics in highly processed foods that are much more concerning.
Like I said, it’s not the healthy choice, but I’m also not going to demonize a person for having the occasional sweet drink.
A much better hill to die on is the systemic use of known carcinogens in products that we come in contact with everyday as well as the dumping of even worse materials into the environment that make their way into our bodies via the water we drink and the air we breathe. You don’t get to choose whether you are exposed to these things.
Who cares. Stop drinking soda that shit is awful for you.
If you’re dumb enough to consume this shit all the time then you’re exactly the one who is being fooled at the same time.
Hmmm careful with the slippery slope of victim blaming
You should care cause its not just soda, its everything. companies just your exact reasoning to justify it.
You’re only a victim if you get victimized. Stop buying from companies that do this shit.

Its cancer to drink sweeteners or isnt it

That said, water is obviously healthier.
Yes. Do run an experiment on your health. Find out in 15 years if it causes cancer.

Living will kill. Pick your battles.
