Wait what?
(I do not consume diet soda. I do not consume any soda).
Sadly Dr Pepper Zero Sugar is sweetened with a combination of aspartame and acesulfame potassium (Ace-K).
Not sure I can give it up.
Most of these artificial sweeteners are bad news, either for your heart or your brain, and probably for your pancreas as well, since “it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.”
Is this to attack Trump ?
So I’m okay with Splenda? :-)
I don’t drink diet coke.
Do I ?
I’ll give up my Diet Coke when they... when they ... do something.
“ The study’s newest findings present a concerning link between low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS) used in diet drinks and accelerated cognitive decline.”
Well, they’re not food. Why would anyone consume them?
Constant conjunction is not causality. Perhaps it a particular type of person who drinks diet coke regularly.
Of course, it is possible that trailer parks cause smoking and tornadoes.....
If it’s that bad for you then you might as well have a non-diet Coke and never switch back...or try a Vernors!
Is it aspartame or specifically diet coke?
I’ve seen enough anecdotal evidence for this to believe it’s true. This is why I ONLY drink Coke ZERO or cane sugar Coke.
So is this 2 ounces per day or 2 liters? Kinda worthless without.
In general, life kills you.
Interesting. I am currently 60. I have been drinking DC for maybe 40 years now. Lately though I do mis-speak and say April instead of August, or other kinds of similar slipups. Trump does this too. Could just be natural aging, or maybe there is something to this?
I had sa friend who had to get diet coke or he would get withdrawal symptoms
I was a diet cokeaholic when I was working....since retiring in 2020 I’ve probably had less than 10 sodas.....I’m STILL dumb. 😆
Serving size? How often? Does the body purge the sweetner if you skip days?
N-E-I ...
Naming a single, branded beverage is clickbait. (Got me to click!) Why Diet Coke and not Sam’s Choice Zero Sugar Cola, you might ask. Just cola, and not lemon-lime? What about red or orange pop?
Maybe it’s because the study was done in Brazil, and Brazil doesn’t have the same array of private-label, artificially sweetened sodas?
Thanks! My wife guzzled huge amounts of Diet Coke in years past. She’s 74 and no signs of cognitive decline. Of course, I’m 75 and the cognitively deficient probably don’t recognize cognitive decline in others. Not that I’m cognitively deficient, of course. Now why did I enter this chat room?
