I’ll say it again - sugar is bad, artificial sweeteners are even worse.
Yours:
“...sugar is bad, artificial sweeteners are even worse.”
Mine:
Yes I agree. My Father used to prohibit soda pop (and a number of other nutritionally-challenged or worthless junk foods and heavily-processed foods).
He would allow me ONE bottle (not can) of soda pop per week. No more. And it had to use real sugar NOT artificial chemical or processed corn fructose sweetener.
the refigerator was filled up with healthy and just plain natural foods, fresh vegies and fresh fruits and nuts and more nuts and natural (not sugarred up) yoghurt and much of it was tasty stuff too (and thankfully Kale had not yet been invented, ha!)

Odd. I’ve drunk Diet Coke for 5 decades with no discernable ill effects. Had I consumed the same quantity of sugared coke, I’d be diabetic and obese!
