I always find it amusing that people have been like “well it doesn’t cause weight loss!”
It doesn’t.
Is it water better than diet soda? Absolutely. But no one is replacing water with diet soda. They’re replacing coke with Diet Coke. Or whatever.
Which means fewer calories which means potential weight loss (or for lower weight gain.
CICO.) the problem is that most people who drink doet sodas tend to have a lot of other dietary habits that are equally awful as slamming back a 12 pack of Mountain Dew everyday…(eew.)
As for aspartame causing cancer… I dunno. But I’m guessing it’s lower than the threat being obese makes. S
I explicitly know of at least two people, whom I’ve met, who claimed that they refused to drink “just water”. It was always either soft drinks, juice, or water with flavoring, which often uses either aspartame or sucralose.
It doesn’t cause weight loss, but empty calories in your diet will cause weight gain. If they hadn’t switched, they’d probably be even heavier than they already are.
Actually this dude I worked with replaced water with diet Pepsi. He said the tap water was filled government nanobots or something. Hasn’t drank water in 20 years. But he’s not sane so…
PFAS are widely used, long lasting chemicals, components of which break down very slowly over time.
Because of their widespread use and their persistence in the environment, many PFAS are found in the blood of people and animals all
over the world and are present at low levels in a variety of food products and in the environment.
PFAS are found in water, air, fish, and soil at locations across the nation and the globe.
Scientific studies have shown that exposure to some PFAS in the environment may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals.
There are thousands of PFAS chemicals, and they are found in many different consumer, commercial, and industrial products. This makes it challenging to study and assess the potential human health and environmental risks.
Tap water from Mexico. Still has nanobots, also comes with worms. And because it lacks the alchohol in tequila… the worms survive and that’s why you don’t notice.
Artificial sweeteners may play another trick, too. Research suggests that they may prevent us from associating sweetness with caloric intake. As a result, we may crave more sweets, tend to choose sweet food over nutritious food, and gain weight.
not really. there are plenty of people that don’t drink water. at all… if they’re just not asking for kidney stones, then they’re replacing it with other things. sugar’d up soda being the most likely.

Dunno if it was diet drink, but still…
W. C. Fields didn’t drink water. “Fish fuck in it.” But he didn’t drink soft drinks either. All of the liquid in his diet was obtained from booze.
The man must have one giant dandruff flake.
@Mdotaut801 @FlyingSquid
Did have (he died in 1946).
His face tells the tale tho.

Government nanobots must weigh quite a bit, so maybe he’s lost some weight after the switch?
From the EPA:
It is. and you see, he’s replacing the government nanobots.
but. you should tell him about the Coke Industries nanobots… implanting viral marketing in his head.
Or that one of the main ingredients in Diet Coke is, you know, water…

artificial sweeteners causes your brain to crave sugar and you end up eating more sugar elsewhere.

That’s still just a self-control issue on your caloric intake regardless.

yes, I use bing
Like a lot of health research, it’s complicated, but there is research that backs up the claim.

You’d be surprised.
