What reason do I have to not sip on diet soda as opposed to it's regular calorie filled counterpart? Literally tastes the same, but has 0 calories. What's the catch lads?

Because aspertame causes cancer. If you think chemical sweetener is better than natural sugar fucking kill yourself.

Do you chain smoke or just don't have a tongue? Because they do taste different.

If you were that concerned with calories in soda, wouldn't you drink soda water instead?

This. It's harder to burn off the fake sugar than normal sugar, and the fake stuff can even make you more hungry/thirsty.

It does not literally taste the same. Why the fuck do people believe this? Are your taste buds fried? Have you had a stroke?

>> No.10307592

There isn't a catch op.

Aspartame is the most studied food ever. People just don't like it because they see it as unnatural and therefore witchcraft.

The only study I've seen that suggests any kind of ill effect is that when your body tastes it it prepares to process lots of calories from sugar. When it doesn't get those you get hungrier and eat more, leading to weight gain.

There's a lot of bullshit in this thread. Ffs, burning off fake sugar? Things burn because they contain energy. Fake sugar doesn't contain those calories.

I prefer the taste of diet coke. I guess I prefer the flavour of chemical sweeteners. It isn't a problem because I only drink them a couple of times a week. The lack of calories part is just a nice bonus

If the calories you're saving from diet soda is making or breaking your caloric intake you either drink too much soda or eat too much food.

I drink soda aboutonce or twice a week, but when I do it's an entire 1,5L bottle. In total that would amount to 600-700 calories if I drank regular soda, which really isn't that little. Especially if I'm using it to mix it with spirits, which would be total overkill calorie wise

Well, ok man go for it if you can't tste the difference. Old Coke Zero was close, diet Dr. Pepper is pretty good. But if you unironically drink diet coke you're insane.
