>Or, it's that coke a shit, soda a shit, HFCS a shit.
Nah, pretty sure you're just suggestible since neither Coke nor soda in general has the effect of drying out your mouth in normal people.
Either that or prediabetes, but being suggestible would make the most sense since you can definitely learn to expect something like dry mouth and meme yourself into experiencing it.
In fact the classic experiment on the power of suggestion involved a very similar case in the opposite direction of getting dogs to salivate by ringing a bell in the absence of actual food.

>But there's no evidence that they cause cancer in any way. There is no long term risk multiplier.
You're confusing sugar with artificial sweeteners here.
Artificial sweeteners: I'm not arguing they cause cancer.
Sugar: I'm calling it a future risk multiplier for cancer.
My entire point was that a future risk multiplier for health problems (sugar) is completely different from an immediately acting source of GI tract irritation (non-nutritive sweeteners). A lifetime of hot dogs will increase your colon cancer risk by a fraction of a percentage point. But unlike a hot dog, a bag of Haribo sugar-free gummi bears is harmful up front.*
>I consume artificial sweeteners and my gastrointestinal health is fine. How can this be?
Because one person isn't the entire world population you dip. Not even deliberately engineered poisons are universally effective every time for every subject at the same dose, part of why you have LD50s for what dose half your subjects die with, to get a feel for what's lethal without overshooting based on a 100% kill rate skewed by a couple weirdo labrats who take twice as much poison as most every other rat.

>Can't use salt substitutes
Yes you can. Salt substitute products are literally just potassium. If you can't use salt substitutes that means you can't eat any food with potassium in it.

>Half the people say dont eat fatty food
>The other half says carbs are the problem
What the fuck are you talking about? It's calories you retard. It's always been calories.

Your immune system starts destroying your own intestines because it doesn't have enough real pathogens to spend its time attacking instead.
Lots of diseases like that e.g. multiple sclerosis where your immune system starts destroying your brain or rheumatoid arthritis where your immune system starts destroying your bones and cartilage.
We were designed to suffer and when you remove the natural diseases people start breaking down and effectively creating their own diseases just to restore the inherent drive to stuggle against something.
