Nope, just a story as old as time. Tell your co-worker an Anon is glad he straightened himself out though.

>Has anyone in this thread actually had these?
Yes. My dad was overweight and ended up getting type 2 diabetes when I was a kid. Hit him super-hard to where his body just stopped processing sugar and he urinated constantly for days losing weight so rapidly he was like one of those advanced stage cancer patients with wasting syndrome.
Anyway, it scared the fuck out of him, he became a food nazi and got off insulin while micromanaging every little bit of eating he did e.g. bringing plastic containers of measured out healthy foods to business dinner restaurants. And my mom meanwhile was terrified my brother or I would end up getting fat like he did so she start stocking all those fucked up diet version food and drinks.
For the longest time I thought skim milk and Diet Coke were normal things for a skinny guy to drink. Wasn't until someone mentioned how weird it was for me to select the Diet Coke option at the high school vending machine given my underweight skelly body that I switched over to real Coke and realized what I was missing. Similar deal with skim milk where I was convinced whole milk was disgusting until my early 20s when I realized skim milk was the unnatural watery garbage and whole milk was legit creamy goodness.
All this to say many foods and drinks with attempts to pass different substances through your body that don't get digested are prone to giving you awful diarrhea. Olestra's a famous example, but a lot of the artificial sweeteners are similar in that respect. Honestly would have much preferred being fat over going through high school with constant diarrhea.

Get used to it, it's being pushed for a reason.
