it's funny because the sugar substitute they use for the diet stuff is 10,000 times worse for you than drinking the twenty nine spoons of sugar in the ordinary cans

you'd be healthier if you ditched the diet coke and took up smoking forty rollies a day, and had steak three times a week

But the ones with the sugar in
(and the 'zero' ones that taste just like the ones with the sugar in) taste way too sweet. The taste of diet coke is nice and sharp and just hits right at the back of your throat.

In the next few years, almost all saccharines will probably be replaced with stevia anyway. Isn't that supposed to be a lot less harmful?

i'm making up these facts as I go along, this is the internet after all
probably not, all the substutes are junk anyway, and worryingly carcenogenic, generally leading down the route to diabetes in any event

Considering how much diet pepsi I drink
I should be the queen of diabetes. But I just had a bunch of blood tests done a couple of weeks ago and I'm disappointingly healthy.

I'm actually in the highest danger group for type 2.
Fat, fair, and forty.
Have you been tested recently? I know you don't fall into those groups, but it wouldn't hurt to know.

Isn't all this sweeteners in fizzy pop cause cancer stuff one of those things that real scientists say is bollocks?

( Peej, Thu 4 Apr 2013, 11:05, Reply)

wasn't there a case a while ago
where the scientists who proved that nutrasweet caused cancer in rats were mysteriously found dead?

Proved? Properly Peer reviewed etc?

I think you can find published papers claiming that pretty much everything is carcinogenic.
I think modern life must cause cancer.
