For Diet Pepsi drinkers, what are your opinions upon the new Diet Pepsi formula?

[FreeMediaKids!]

For me, it tastes terrible now because of the new formula (sucralose) compared to the older formula (aspartame). It also has that weird aftertaste. Ugh! What about you drinkers of Diet Pepsi?

[Kr.]

I don't tatse any diffrent. Never likrd pepsi anyway .. I only drink diet soda cause diabitchs

[♠ZerØ♠]

I don't really taste a huge difference either. But all diet tastes pretty foul. Well.. Pepsi did have a really good diet soda, the Strawberries and Cream one was pretty tasty.

Yep, just like any soda contains Dihydrogen monoxide[en.wikipedia.org].

I hear that stuff can kill you.[www.dhmo.org]

What is Dihydrogen Monoxide?
Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

What your quote forgets to mention is that DHMO is extremely toxic. Inhaling even small quantities can cause death and its so dangerous that in gaseous form it will cause severe burns within seconds.

Better option would be drinking water, even flavoured water is far better than any fizzy junk. Enjoy having oesophagitis too.

At the end of the day soda drinks are just flat-out bad for you, but I always stick to the normal variants to the "light" variants. I'd rather have a soda made with mostly real sugar than synthetic sweetener. Then again, I'm talking about Swedish soda drinks. The health standards in the Swedish food industry are fiercely strict. If I lived in the US, I'd probably avoid sodas all together.

The quote was just that, a quote. I provided a link if anyone wanted to read more.

That is loaded with more Dihydrogen Monoxide then any soda. Didn't you read what I posted? Dihydrogen Monoxide is deadly stuff!

In the US nearly all of are soda is made with high fructose corn syrup instead of tradtional cane sugar.

That is why I have been buying imported Coke/soda from Mexico. Most stores in my area carry it now too. Taste a lot better, imho. $1.09 (+tax & CRV) a bottle, but I only allow myself on a day anyways.

So? Is that somehow less-healthy than cane sugar? Perhaps, but I'm sure it's not in any way you're thinking. HFCS was the subject of a lot of attention in the 80's as a potentially harmful food-additive, but none of that ever amounted to anything. Original testing methods were questionable at best, feeding mice a diet of nothing but HFCS until they died, for example.

Why would anyone do such testing? For the same reasons people take nearly any action in any society: economics. At the time it paid to do such research. But who was paying and why?

Well, the people with an interest in corn products and the people HFCS threatened, naturally. HFCS was both and economic boon and an economic threat, depending upon who you were. It is used in soft drinks and the like because it was more stable in acidic beverages, and as a syrup it readily lends itself to inclusion in liquids or glazes with minimal mechanization required. (A point of interest to the sugar purists, if you leave your sucrose in soda for too long you end up drinking a substance more akin to HFCS and with higher sugar concentration because of its tendency to decay.)

And of course, it is made of corn, which the US always has an abundance of. Our corn lobby is very powerful, and one of the main things it tries to do is get corn products included in things. Sometimes that's okay, and sometimes it ruins our gas. It is what it is.

On the other side was everybody else and the cane sugar people. Since HFCS was more efficient to produce in every way, it threatened to undercut sugar entirely in many sectors. And so sugar went to war, governments began subsidizing sugar production, and now there is not a single sugar nation which does not, including this one. The goal was to make sugar less expensive and therefore competitive.

As if that wouldn't generate an obvious response form the corn lobby. They also get subsidies, and they could still undercut sugar. The next step to save sugar was to simply ban the sale or use of HFCS in as many products as possible. And how do you do that? By coming up with research that gives you a reason for it. Hence the questionable testing that really wasn't questionable at all. It found exactly what it was intended to find and couldn't be debunked for years once the public heard the horror stories media craves.

These struggles are still going on to this day, and people still tend to blame HFCS for obesity, but if it were true that HFCS is more causative of obesity, then why do obesity rates worldwide continue to increase when HFCS consumption is down?

I'm sure it will blow your mind, but when you make stuff cheap, people buy more of it. Subsidizing sugar and then adding on a bunch of BS about how it was healthier than fructose (obvious BS) just made them buy more sugar and then feel good about it. Like it was healthy. They do that with a lot of other things, too, as it turns out. But whatever, obesity continues to rise, and the prime factor in it was the most obvious one that everybody should have seen from miles away - people eating too much. The only correlation to obesity rate is caloric intake, which continues to rise.

If you want to know an enemy's intentions, don't look at their forces, look at their supply lines.

don't drink lots of sodas.

i used to drink a liter of soda a day (2000-2011) and i got a1.7cm (right) kidney stone plus other smaller stones in both kidneys...
...stone removed via extracorporeal shockwave lithoripsy...
...on maintenace meds the rest of my life to prevent recurrence of kidney stone formation...
