This is bad news for me because I enjoy drinking a can of diet coke everyday.

What are your thoughts?

It's worse than sugar

What's a healthy alternative to sugar? I can't eat sugar because I have type 2 Diabetes.

I'm no doctor, but stevia works.

Its been KNOWN FOR YEARS that stuff is dangerous. Its caused cancer in every rat they tested it on.

The food industry has been blocking all attempts to ban it for the past decade because of its profitability. The FDA are full of it for denying there's an association between it and cancer.

It was one of the reasons they lobbied Britain to leave the EU, became they didn't want it being recognised for the hazardous chemical it is.

I didn't know this. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

That info is only like..... 10 years out of date. I knew artificial sweeteners were poison long ago.

I dislike the cancer angle, universally. It's a little game they play. They can say possible carcinogen and then slosh around a bunch of studies done with this dose in this species and then epidemiological data in this population and then mechanistic studies over here, and this is how they tread water for decades on end while the public waits for the definitive answer. It's not coming. They do this for a reason.

So sick of it.

I've been trying to spread awareness about this for a long time, but only to fall on deaf ears.

Xylitol is far far safer. Its naturally occurring and even has health benefits in starving the bad bacteria that cause tooth decay.

Sucralose is bad for you too, and it's even more common than aspartame. Artificial dyes are bad as well.
Stop consuming artificial ♥♥♥♥, all of it is bad for you

More for me & less for you then.

What about Monk Fruit sweetener? I never see xylitol in the stores. Only in keto stores.
