@@fVNzO I think the idea here is using the diet soda as a tool to draw you away from the stuff you don't want to consume. That's the way it works for me at least. The point being that it works.

[@martinadelvai4115]

@@fVNzO there are times when I can do that. In those times I can be pretty hard headed and tolerate hunger very well, eat only what serves my body and work out 5-6 times a week and not have any cravings. And there are times when I can't tolerate hunger at all. Sometimes my cravings seem to almost drive me. Most often in those times they come right after a meal. So having a cup of diet soda usually does the trick for me. In regards to this Video I don't really care all that much about aspartame because I prefer suclarose. I try to avoid sacharin.

[@PJ-oe6eu]

It's probably because smoking and alcohol doesn't have an alternative perceived to be lower risk. Well smoking does with vaping but vaping seems to get a lot of the same skepticism as artificial sweeteners, although those do have a bit more of a foundation. Some people want to believe this *artificial chemical* which makes things sweet with no down side is too good to be true and that natural sugar is alright because well it comes from nature and it does have a known downside. Stick with the devil you know type of deal.

Thanks as always Layne because I'm now even less worried about aspartame. I've been using loads of various artificial sweeteners (although TBH not much aspartame) for decades in coffee, soft drinks and home-cooked baked treats without ever experiencing negative effects. To the contrary, since mostly quitting sugar over 5 years ago I slowly lost 40kg and have since added 10kg of muscle while maintaining body fat percentage. Other permanent lifestyle changes such as plenty of vigorous exercise (cardio and weights), much healthier eating/cooking and quitting smoking/drinking have been also key in drastically improving my physical and mental health, however without artificial sweeteners I'd probably still be eating sugar, be overweight if not obese and very unhappy.

I was also worried when this "blew up", but then I just looked up the information about it, and was less worried. Aspartame is one of the MOST tested food additives and has been used since the early 1980s. If all those overweight people who switched from sugary drinks to aspartame-sweetened drinks were to switch back, there would be a MUCH higher health risk. It's irresponsible to scare people into doing something that is more unhealthy. Yes, aspartame isn't "good" for you (most things aren't), but the amount of bad is so much less compared to the alternative: sugar.

I quit ALL aspartame based drink in July 2021 after Jeff, my buddy brother, died by stage 4 pancreatic cancer in May 2021. My buddy told me he drunk a 2 liter bottle diet Pepsi every day. This actually scared me out as I usually drink 2x 20oz (600ml) diet Mountain Dew daily.

[@vigilantezack]

That's just a LOT of soda PERIOD. Why randomly blame one specific ingredient? I would argue that so much "fizzy liquid" by itself is more harmful than Aspartame due to things like blocking absorption of certain minerals or leeching calcium or whatever else. I rarely drink even two 12oz cans, and many days I drink none at all. Maybe one with lunch or dinner. I can't even imagine downing 2 liters every single day, or even your 2x 20oz. That's just a lot no matter how you slice it. But you can't just pick a random ingredient and blame that. It might have had nothing to do with soda at all. It could just be genetic predisposition. Or maybe his desire for so much soda was actually a sign of his body wanting some other kind of nutrient? You might get genetic testing just to see if you have similar predispositions.

[@jame254]
