Zero vs regular Sodas, whats the difference and are both bad for you?
The difference between zero and regular sodas can be stated very simple: one has sugar, the other one doesnt
but...
Regular sodas are sweetened with high doses of sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, providing a large and rapidly absorbed glucose load.
But what exactly are the risks of a rapid glucose load?
High Insulin = Promotion of fat storage & no fat breakdown (lipolysis)
Your Pancreas cannot keep up forever. At some point it stops producing insulin at high glucose levels which then leads to failure transporting glucose into your muscle cells.
No glucose in cells = Glucose turning into fat
Your liver continues producing glucose like a retard thinking it needs more but the excess amounts of it then become liver fat which then leads to inflammation that could lead to cancer in the worst case scenario.
Zero sodas on the other hand, use non-caloric sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame-K, or stevia. These provide sweetness with little to no energy, meaning they do not raise blood glucose in the same immediate way sugar does. From a calorie standpoint, this is a major advantage, especially for people trying to lose weight or reduce overall sugar intake.
Sugar is not the problem, the problem is the high dose usually found in sodas.
Sugar is required by your body due to being a crucial energy source.
Insulin is also needed for muscle building but I will not go in depth about that.
You're probably asking what to do if your body literally needs sugar, the answer is simple:
Lean towards natural food containing reasonable amounts of sugar like fruits as an example.
They contain mainly fructose with a bit of glucose aswell as other nutrients like Fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Fruits are literally fucking amazing compared to goyslop.
More in Depth:
Zero is a great alternative to sugary sodas especially if you're dieting but you should not lean too much towards sodas, even if it seems healthy.
Just drink water.

1. Repeated insulin surges
Frequent glucose spikes require frequent insulin release. Over time, muscle cells may become less responsive to insulin which then leads to even more insulin produced to push the glucose into the cells.High Insulin = Promotion of fat storage & no fat breakdown (lipolysis)
2. Your Pancreas cant keep up
Definition: Pancreas is a gland behind your stomach producing insulin.Your Pancreas cannot keep up forever. At some point it stops producing insulin at high glucose levels which then leads to failure transporting glucose into your muscle cells.
No glucose in cells = Glucose turning into fat
Your liver continues producing glucose like a retard thinking it needs more but the excess amounts of it then become liver fat which then leads to inflammation that could lead to cancer in the worst case scenario.
3. Blood sugar crashes
Rapid spikes are often followed by rapid drops which can lead to:- Hunger shortly after eating -> Leads to your fat ass eating even more and becoming even fatter
- Cravings for more sugar -> Cycle repeats
- Fatigue and brain fog -> You become retarded
Zero sodas on the other hand, use non-caloric sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame-K, or stevia. These provide sweetness with little to no energy, meaning they do not raise blood glucose in the same immediate way sugar does. From a calorie standpoint, this is a major advantage, especially for people trying to lose weight or reduce overall sugar intake.
1. Benefits of Zero drinks
- No increase in Glucose levels -> No problem with Insulin overproduction
-> Is safe for diabetic people (retards who abused sugar)
- No to almost 0 calories -> Perfect for people trying to cut down their calories but still enjoy some tasty stuff
- Can satisfy the craving for something sweet -> Prevents you from overeating & helps sticking to diet
2. Risks of Zero drinks
Before I state the negative points I must say that they appear only in cases of over consumption, generally speaking zeros are safe to consume in reasonable quantities.- Disrupt appetite regulation via learned sweetness-calorie mismatch -> You can become hungry because of your monkey brain expecting some food
- Potentially influence glucose tolerance -> You can get fucked easier when consuming sugar
- Phosphoric and citric acid can erode enamel -> Your teeth first layer gets fucked

More in Depth:
- Fruits raise blood glucose slowly and moderately (Fiber slows the absorption), chewing and digestion also limit the intake speed
- Fructose is primarily metabolized in the liver (Fiber prevents liver overload) -> Well tolerable
- Make you full due to fiber promoting fullness signals like GLP-1 and PYY -> You don't overeat, great for diet
- Fruits supports gut health via fiber and polyphenols
