Spoiler: How much diet soda is safe?

For most brands, drinking two or less cans per day of diet soda, so far, seems completely safe according to researchers. While everything is obviously still being studied (as well as almost every other thing), these risks are usually for what we will discuss in the future, not things like high aspartame.

Spoiler: Won’t diet soda make you gain weight?

It is far more complex than that. Diet soda does not directly cause weight gain, other than the five or ten calories that are in most cans. The myth that drinking diet soda directly causes weight gain is completely incorrect. However, sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose can spike hunger, leading you to consume more calories with another meal, snack, or drink, which will obviously lead to higher calorie consumption and possible weight gain.

Spoiler: Diet soda increases risk of vascular issues, right?

In theory, yes, they can. This is proven by this study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3514985/
Here’s the thing though. It is also noted that there was no vascular or heart risk associated with sugar soda or light diet soda consumption. This goes back to drinking 2 or less diet sodas a day, suggesting that there is not an elevated risk coming from the consumption of only two.

Spoiler: Gut Health

Apparently, diet soda is bad for your gut, right? While they can cause bloating, that’s generally the extent of it for most people. Studies that suggest diet soda is bad for your gut also say that it is dose dependent in healthy individuals.

Spoiler: Headaches

Yes, diet soda can cause headaches. This is usually in headache prone people, partially due to the caffeine being a diuretic. The actual evidence for artificial sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame correlating with headaches is relatively weak.

Spoiler: Diet sodas lower bone density

Diet colas specifically, and only colas, from my understanding, were proven to lower BMD in women. Women. If you are not a woman, this doesn’t seem like a worrying thing.

I debunked that in my thread but you just started talking about some weight gain and dnrd

Nigga thinks aspartame is toxic

 

[InertiaBoy]

Nigga thinks aspartame is toxic

If you eat 700g of it you will die

 

[bluebandz]

If you eat 5g of it you will die

by that consideration, water is toxic as well. Everything is. Water can kill you if you consume too much. So that still doesn’t make aspartame bad.

 

[bluebandz]

also @WilhelmThyWizard is still pretty educated, what he said was wrong but I had to research to get correct answers and whatnot. It’s all dose dependent

 

[InertiaBoy]

No it cant

They probably used slop tap water to test that

the ingridient is phosphoric acid, it weaks bones. if it weaks womens bones it will do same to men, also the can is filled with microplastics, please dont drink goyslop it tastes terrible

 

[bluebandz]

nah it tastes good imo if you don’t like diet soda don’t drink it though since it is filled with stuff like caffeine which i’m not a fan of personally
the study talks about dose dependency that’s why i mentioned not drinking more than two. It should not affect bones or have a negligible amount over a long period of time with this dosage.

Thanks bro!

 

[IDontBlameAnybody]

If you eat 700g of it you will die

Ooh gotchu, drinking 700 diet sodas at once would kill me. Very surprising. Just as surprised as your father was when he found out you were born and fled the town.

 

[$Whoami]

[IDontBlameAnybody]

Thats literally insanely little amounts to be deadly thats what you dont realize

You can eat 2kg of meat in one sitting are you gonna die obviously not

What you don't realize is that one 2L bottle has just 1g of aspartame. You said 700g is deadly, congratz, you'd never be able to consume that much.

 

[Bitchwhipper2]

This is so fucking water bruh

 

[IDontBlameAnybody]

well 700 diet sodas is 273 kg so that’s not comparable

700 2L diet sodas is 700g of aspartame.

 

[bluebandz]

This is so fucking water bruh

I mean based off the replies i guess it’s not to some people lol

 

[bluebandz]

700 2L diet sodas is 700g of aspartame.

yeah i don’t think anyone will ever drink that in one day

 

[Bitchwhipper2]

I mean based off the replies i guess it’s not to some people lol

I honestly thought better of people jfl

 

[IDontBlameAnybody]

I honestly thought better of people jfl

Dude what the fuck do you mean? Do you not know how toxic it is? If you drink 1400 liters of it all in one sitting, you will die!!!

 

[bluebandz]

Dude what the fuck do you mean? Do you not know how toxic it is? If you drink 1400 liters of it all in one sitting, you will die!!!

Be careful bro..
