> there are people who still drink full sugar sodas when zero sugar sodas taste literally the exact same but don't make you fat
????

I refuse to purposefully ingest artificial sweeteners
I also refuse to ingest natural sweeteners such as stevia, erythritol, and xylitol.

I think it's just scientific illiteracy and appeal to nature fallacy, such people are generally suspicious of things that sound too good to be true. I've never seen actual incontrovertible evidence that aspartame is harmful to human health in the quantities found in diet soft drinks. To me, it's just better living through chemistry, and I have at least some faith in the regulatory capacity of the FDA and European equivalent agencies.

>>21476200 (OP)
>literally the exact same
This is never true

You have never had Dr Pepper zero sugar

>>21476250
Well I hate dr pepper, so no shit.

Zero sugar DP literally tastes like cough medicine. I should know that, I robotrip once a week.

>>21476218
The FDA and FSA use opposite philosophies. In the US any producer can use any product they believe to be safe. In the EU any producer who wants to use a product, has to deliver scientific proof that it's safe. The only reason why aspartame is allowed in the EU is because it's used as a lever in trade negotiations (there's no proof that it's safe either).

(Thanks for that pic, it made my day.)

I did once. My local store still often has 3 for $3 and 5 for $5 deals on Dr. Pepper, and one time while I was buying to stock up, one of the bottles was accidentally a Zero Sugar Dr. Pepper. It just tasted so dull and lifeless, it was peculiar. Even the distinct spiced flavor that defines Dr. Pepper seemed less present, even though that should be entirely unrelated to sugar. I was disgusted by it.

Again, it's just never true. Zero Sugar soda is just always an inferior product that diabetics cope with.

>purposefully ingest artificial sweeteners
me too
the worst is when regular sugar drinks are cheeping out so bad that they add bullshit artificial stuff along with well corn syrup most times.
>>21476200 (OP)
they don't taste the same. never have never will
plus it feels like it leaves a slimy film in my mouth throat.
it's not a fucking option in my book

>>21476202
>erythritol, and xylitol
Not a fan of diarrhoea?

>muh artificial aspartame is le bad
you know when im out touching grass i've never seen sugar crystals in nature neither (besides old honey). sugar is just as artificial as aspartame

if you want natural sugar then use honey, otherwise everything else thats sweet is artificial

>>21476294
Not when I can avoid it.

They taste horrible and are worse for you

my grandpa has parkinson's cuz he drank too many diet pepsis

>>21476382
I bet your grandpa drank water everyday of his life too, maybe the water is what caused his parkinson's.

I bet he also had a large amount of oxygen intake throughout his lifespan, the oxygen could be a cause as well.

>>21476395
i bet you're a dumb nigger

gatorade does a great job with most of their zero sugar flavors. one of those energy drink brands "ghost" i believe, also does a remarkable job. all the popular soda brands are pretty bad though, especially if they're not super ice cold. mountain dew is probably the worst

>>21476398
Unironically, ditto.

The millions of people drinking Pepsi without Parkinson's im sure are just outliers.

>>21476398
He's not as dumb as you or your gramps

>there are fat subhumans who still drink any kind of soda

I react negatively to aspertame with mild headaches, but the sucrolose stuff sits perfectly fine, or at least doesn't do any me any short term detectable harm. I chock it up to just being genetically unlucky, like how some people can't do cilantro. Who knows, maybe someone will discover it does a thing to a thing and that's why people hate it. Although I thought there was some research that showed it made you crave more sugar or some shit and wasn't useful for dieting, but I never read into it to see if that was just garbage reporting.

Unfortunately for me, all the diet soda brands use aspertame, so I have to avoid them. But at least all the drink mixes support sucrolose, so I can use them all the time. Assuming the artificial flavor they used is any good, some shit out there is rank terrible tasting. Oh, and it's not the same as sugar, just as HFCS is not quite the same as sugar.

If you actually HAD gone out to touch grass, you would have stumbled across sugar cane, the plant that sugar comes from (it's just powdered and dried - bleached if you like white, natural if you like brown). Some restaurants give you sugar cane sticks to stir alcoholic drinks. No need to visit a plantation.

>>21476200 (OP)
there are a LOT of schizos who will drink sugar forever because it is "natural"

>>21476200 (OP)
I'm not fat and I need the carbs and artificial sweeteners upset my stomach

Pretty sure they're both just as bad for you. They're something you should drink occasionally. Unless of course you're an active person in which case a couple sodas a week isn't a big issue.

How about stop drinking soda every day like a child. The fact that your taste buds are so degraded that you can't tell the difference between an artificial sweetener and real sugar says it all. I'm sure you are an obese faggot

Sugary drinks being easy calories doesn't mean they make you fat. Too many calories make you fat.
I only drink them when I'm doing heavy physical labor, knowing I will be burning the sugar off right away.

>>21476200 (OP)
thank god i'm not gay and enjoy sugar without being a fat piece of shit

>>21476200 (OP)
Zero sugar sodas taste nothing like the proper ones, they taste like fucking poison.

>>21476898
Diet yeah, but zero sugar tastes almost the exact same.

>>21476200 (OP)
Has any other European subjected themselves to the chemical horror show that is Dr Pepper? It tastes like carbonated cough syrup filtered through despair. Between that and Hershey’s waxy excuse for chocolate, I’m starting to think Americans have completely lost the plot when it comes to taste. Is this what passes for a treat over there? Can't forgot about Reese's too, the most artificial-tasting PB.

you are a fucking nontaster, and a lesser human than me. Let me guess, you can't taste the difference between 2% and skim either? You disgust me and it's a damning indictment of world in which we live that you are allowed to consume the same amount of resources as I am.

It takes weeks to build up a tolerance to artificial sweeteners, the aftertaste is just too nasty. I'd rather have a full sugar soda as a treat once or twice a week than drink that zero sugar shit every day.

>>21476200 (OP)
Soda is a rare treat for me, why would I purposefully buy a shitty tasting version?

Are there any companies in America making a cola with all real ingredients, including kola nuts?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_nut#Cola_recipe

Allulose is the only non-caloric sweetener that doesn't taste terrible, but it's expensive and never used in these drinks to my knowledge. I drink soda with sugar on the occasions when I have it (~ every 5 days), because I am not a fatass.

>>21476200 (OP)
>but don't make you fat
The only people who drink soda are the ones who are fat.

fake sugar gives you cancer

the biggest mistake you can make is putting Fireball Whisky in Dr Pepper.

Mt Dew Baja Blast Zero has no aspartame, just sucralose.
