I just like the taste of coke zero, ill eat candy/dessert still, save the calories id get out of drinking coke, gotta have some vices or you'll be an uptight bitch

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Coke zero is worse for your health. Artificial sweeteners have pretty bad health effects, especially the one used in coke.

It is heavily suspected of being able to cause, heart issues, and having the counter intuitive effect to actually make your brain want more sugar, because the complete sugar activation mechanism isn’t triggered properly. It is also slightly suspected to cause cancer, although researchers don’t agree at all on this subject.

Uhm, source??

I love how people just feel like artificial sweeteners must be bad for you. They're okay. Not healthy, but way better than sugar.

Also: Coke can still be kinda unhealthy, other ingredients etc...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame

For transparency, here is another page that seems more in favor of Aspartame: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy

Here’s the conclusion of Yuka, which is a lot more on the "alarmist" side: https://help.yuka.io/l/en/article/r2x5e36paq-aspartame (note that the US FDA is considered as really lax compared to some other countries in Europe in terms of additives and health concerns worldwide)

Many studies show that artificial sweeteners doesn’t help with weight loss at all

Having less calories helps? Those ppl they studied likely didnt practice cico and ate more because they thought they saved calories from drinking less soda so they ended up at maintenence or over

If they studied ppl who thought they were drinking regular soda but it was sugar free than youd see wight loss, but they were aware that it was sugar free and 0 calories so they ate more

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

The links I listed are only about the artificial sweeteners, not sugar-free sodas

But the main thing is: it makes you want more sugar, so you’ll end up consuming more, which doesn’t help or even makes weight regulation worse. You’ll end up getting the calories in a way or another, hopefully from good sources though

You prob believe vaping is worse than cigs too

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

it depends, some vapes are indeed worse than most cigs, i think most can agree with both being bad

in what situation is low temp vapor worse than burning smoke and ash in your lungs, ignore the chemicals, which are always better in vapes, even american spirit all natural tobacco have chemicals and aren't really all natural, tar is always worse

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (3 children)

In the situation that you are putting food flavorings in your lungs. Not made to go there.. if you're just vaping pure pg / vg that's different. Look up popcorn lung for an example of why food flavorings should not be inhaled.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

either way vaping is stupid if youve never smoked, in my case I had gotten into the really bad habit of bong rips with weed and tobacco and vaping made my health a lot better, now I need to taper off the vaping, usually working out helps a lot with that, just staying busy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Vaping does lead to excessive nic use I think 50mg being the norm is a problem, it was like 5mg when I started at freebase than salt came out and every disposable uses that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Popcorn lung was caused by vitamin e and was only seen through thc black market vapes, it seems you havent done your research, vaping has not been shown to cause popcorn lungs, ive actually seen tons of posts about this on reddit vaping with smarter ppl than me talking about it and posting studies. Cigs do cause popcorn lung. Its more a factory chemical thing tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Nope. Vaping is so much better (less bad) than smoking. Combustion sucks.

I suggest you do your research.

Coke zero is worse for your health.

nobody who drinks Coke care for their health.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Diet and sugar-free sodas are all marketing BS. It's all meant to get one to think it's "healthy" rather than "less terrible"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I'd agree otherwise, else Coke Zero wouldn’t exist I guess.

Everyone cares for their health, they just think it’s "not that bad", which it is in a way, but that depends on the level on health and risk you’re willing to have

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I'm not a doctor but my understanding of the topic is that it's pretty clear : any soda is bad.

Sure, a Coke a week, in a cocktail or otherwise, does not matter much but AFAIK people who buy entire packs (as in the photo) drink sodas at every meal and that's unhealthy over long term, no matter what brand or type of soda it is.

So assuming that's a well known medical fact and people still do it, then one can say they do NOT care for their health, no?
