I used to drink Coke Classic, then for a long time tons of Diet Pepsi, now unsweetened tea like the Pure Leaf stuff in bottles. Turns out I didn’t need the sweet taste, but gotta have caffeine. Not into coffee, and I notice most people with their Starbucks drinks add so much sugar and milk they might as well order a milkshake. If artificial sweeteners are bad for you, a whole generation of women who lived on cigarettes and Sweet’N Low packets are doomed.

Both of us have on occasion picked up an artifically sweetened drink and it's just UGH! I don't know what it is about artificial sweeteners, they leave a metalic taste or something in my mouth. That would be an interesting study figuring out the differences between people who think artificial sweeteners are awful, and those who think they taste great. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 11/15/2020 3:47 AM, Lewis Bergman wrote: The studies I have read suggest that the artificial sweeteners change the way your cells react to sugar. I remember no more detail than that and likely wouldn't understand any more detail anyway. Just the takeaway "Ugh, diet soda bad". Which by the way, seems to be the result of nearly every study that isn't sponsored by some association. Like those studies that came out about coffee being really good for you sponsored by governments of coffee producers, then coffee makers, then coffee sellers. Like anyone needs another reason to drink coffee. I never have but I think my wife would pick coffee over drugs. I don't think she has ever tried something like meth or heroin so maybe she would pick that.

The body adds a dose of insulin, and bingo, you have type 2 diabetes. I don't know how many or for how long. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 11/14/2020 12:11 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: One of the things I admired about George W Bush was he seemed to keep fit and follow a healthy lifestyle. Not that I personally do any of that, but I need a President to set a good example. Neither Clinton nor Trump were good examples, except possibly from the viewpoint of a McDonalds stockholder. How many Diet Cokes do you need to drink to cancel out the calories from a Big Mac? I’ve tried Thin Mints and it doesn’t work, you can eat boxes of those things and not get any thinner.
