It isn't good for you

God I'm so lonely

>>13539608
It's not good

>>13539608
all coke is bad for you
coke
coke zero
diet coke
cocaine
smelter coke

I mean, not really. It's water plus caffeine with artificial sweeteners.

>>13539662
>water
good for you
>caffeine
debatable
>artificial sweeteners.
bad for you

overall: bad for you

>>13539608
it tastes worse than regular coca cola and its not good for you so you might as well drink regular coca cola

>>13539608
If it helps you stay at a healthy weight, those benefits probably outweigh the risks of the artificial sweeteners.

Yes
Anything with sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, erythrytol, or stevia will cancer you

>>13539608
Besides the
>sweeteners cause cancer
meme; its not bad but not good. Its pretty neutral. Theres caffeine and artificial flavors. 0 calories so fatties can drink as much as they want but they also might get cancer sooner than others.

Source: your boomer parents on facebook. There is literally no evidence to support the idea that artificial sweeteners are harmful other than muh naturalistic fallacy.

>>13539610

>>13540027

>>13540027
aspartame is known to break down into carcinogens


also you're really fucking stupid

>>13540868
he's right, you're a paranoid retard.

look at all these retards all in one thread.

>>13539608
everything causes cancer just pick less bad stuff
progression chart:
coke -> diet coke -> zevia -> sparkling water -> water

most dangerous ingredient in coke is the acids damaging teeth enamel

meanwhile ill enjoy coke zero while you fattys get diabutis

>>13541276
I'm gay btw if that matters

>>13539608
Zero calorie sodas tricks your brain into thinking you're consuming sugar which causes insulin spikes.
Except you have no sugar in your system so you fuck yourself more than if you drank regular soda.

>>13539608
I like to drink a can of Coke zero whenever I go to the beach

itt: pseuds and broscience

I like to drink a can at the beach. Very refreshing desu

>>13540027
>There is literally no evidence to support the idea that artificial sweeteners are harmful other than muh naturalistic fallacy.
I don't know about the other anons' cancer claims. But I can tell you artificial sweeteners definitely do cause bowel problems. Some more than others, but what they all have in common is they're tricking you into thinking you ate sugar when they're really just passing through your intestines undigested, and that's how GI problems happen. Similar to the 'WOW' potato chips olestra fiasco of the 90s when everyone started crapping their pants from that retarded fat substitute.
I get fucking heated when I see companies try to slip artificial sweeteners into their normal / non-diet products. Fuck you, fat people. Keep your fake sugar out of normal drinks.

>>13539608
Not nearly as bad for you as this website.

>>13539861
>you may as well consume hundreds of grams of sugar syrup goy
BEGONE RAT

>>13541518
How much soda are you drinking? You'd need to go through 3 cans of Coke just to break 100g. It's about the same as orange juice in sugar content and honestly fat people are focusing on the wrong shit with this sugar obsession. Very few of you got fat because of sugar and even fewer of you will stop being fat because you started drinking Diet Coke.

is there a way i can keep drinking coke zero and not get kidney stones

>>13541548
Drink less of it, drink water to help your kidneys clean, and drink clear liquor to thin it out.

>>13541548
The keto fad diet you're probably on is multiplying your kidney stone risk much, much, much more than any other factor including whatever risk Coke Zero incurs if it even has any at all for kidney stones to begin with.

>>13541553
thanks i drink about 2L of water per day, at least, and i am mixing the coke zero with clear liquor anyways so thats good news thank you
>>13541554
i am not on a keto fad diet hell i am not on any diet i just use coke zero as mix over coke because it has less caffeine and no calories but i have heard that phosphoric acid in sodas in general can attribute to kidney stones

>>13541484
Olestra
that was fun
its like my poop was pure oil and it wouldnt come off no matter how many times i wiped.
need to shower right after a dump

>>13541541
You can assume the average American consumes AT LEAST 3 sodas per week, with a big percentage consuming one every single day. Now multiply the numbers. Imagine the sugar. And also you're dead wrong, most stupidly obese people are stupidly obese in large part because of sugar. Begone rat.

You might die from it but you won't die from being fat, that's why I drink it every day

>>13541624
>3 sodas per week
That's not a bad amount of sugar. Like I said, it's pretty close to orange juice, and I drink one of those each morning without being overweight or diabetic into my mid-30s now. Fat people should focus more on the food they're eating too much of and less on the 60 calories a day that 3 cans of Coke a week would equate to. Not many people go from fat to thin by switching to Diet Coke.

>>13539861
I find non diet sodas to be too sweet

>>13539608
>>13541789
Why don't people who don't want sugar or sweetness in their soda just drink selzer water? That's basically what soda without sugar or sweetness is.

>>13541802
I rarely drink soda but once in a while I get a craving for a diet coke. I mostly drink water, chocolate milk or vodka

>>13541765
I agree no one will go from fat to thin on diet sodas. But diet sodas will not cause weight gain either while regular sodas very much will. I encourage you watch a lecture that came out in 2009 called Sugar: The Bitter Truth. It's available on YouTube.

>>13540868
>random-ass molecules that aren't detected by your tastebuds
>cool and good, perfectly healthy

>random-ass molecules that by a coincidence bind to certain receptors on your tongue
>cause cancer, diabetes, brain damage, autism and manboobs

Makes perfect sense.

>>13541852
this is a joke, right?

>>13541802
Because they don't care about changing; this board is 90% lazy fatasses who post retard shit like OP, desperately searching for any morsel of validation they can get for their shitty eating habits.

>>13541484
This is incorrect, the great thing about artificial sweeteners is they give a sweet taste without stimulating the production of insulin.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

Nothing's incorrect about it. Artificial sweeteners do cause GI problems. Some worse than others. I agree it's great that diabetics can drink fake sugar beverages. I just wish they'd keep this shit out of normal non-diet drinks e.g. I found out vending machine bottles of Lipton's teas and Hawaiian Punch both have artificial sweeteners slipped in now. That was supposed to be the entire point of having "diet drinks" as a concept. They should never be included in non-diet drinks.

>>13539608
Coke Zero, and by extension all drinks with artificial sweeteners, are bad for you. They fuck up your GI health, of which we are only starting to realize (past ~20 years) how vital it is for overall physical and mental health. STOP DRINKING ALL SODA!

>>13541946
>but m-muh insulin response
Quit being a retard parroting shit you read on /fit/ and go read about Dr. Rhonda Patrick and some of the research she's done.

As a diabetic, I don't care about anything as long as it doesn't spike my sugar levels compared to regular coke

Source?

>>13541947
Seriously, this world is fucked once zoomers take over.

>>13539608
Zero coke is good for you

𓂸

>>13539608
No. Providing you drink a can every other day or something. Just don't drink regular coke.

>>13542058
But worrying about this is well past the point of diminishing returns, and you have no business fretting over it if you aren't already at a healthy weight and eating large enough portions of fruit and vegetables.

>>13540027
There's a much simpler reason to stay away from artificial sweeteners.
All of them taste like shit.
