OT: Coke Zero discontinued

Hate you got cancer. Get well soon. Seriously.

to the point of aspartame in particular: it has been cleared by over 90 countries as a safe food additive and the FDA reports that it is one of the most studied food additives ever. Although, you are correct that there are other foods we eat here that are banned or much less used around the world.

Like you, I try to eat rather clean. I prefer to eat things that were picked, killed, or caught (even better if I do the killin). If not one of those three things, I try to eat things with five ingredients or less.

Sugar is better for you than artificial sweeteners. Not that either are good, but I'm just saying. Secondly, moderation...

Not no but hell no

Just because your body doesn't break them down doesn't mean it's not absorbed into your blood stream. They are still bad for you. But here's the big catch!! The studies that were done on rats to conclude they were bad for you, were tests that gave them about the equivalent to drinking 3,000 diet cokes in one day. Hahaha. Anything you eat is fine in moderation.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

That was supposed to have an asterisk...hahahha seems like today everything you eat will give you some kind of disease. It has gotten quite laughable. Saw something the other day that said different bottle waters were highly "acidic" and could be bad for you...WATER! Smh

Corn sugar and table sugar are the same. Your body metabolizes them the same and there's very little difference. They're both harmful to your health in large quantities.

 

[patdog]

would you be ok with taking a tiny bit of cyanide?

That is one of the most ridiculous comparisons I've ever seen.

17 man. Smoked sausage is bad for you. Hot Dogs? Sompin' gonna kill you. Can't avoid everything in life they say is gonna get you. They change the studies every other year.

You shut your ***** mouth about smoked sausage

I had to break the news to my family today. Sister inlaw drinks 5 a day. My father, who got the diabetes, really could only drink those.
Just a goshdamn travesty.

 

[Grevlin]

Lots of ancedotal evidence (myself included) and studies linking aspertame to headaches.

Life expectancy has risen by 30 years in the last 100 years....

Well lads, I heard the bad news this morning. Coca-Cola has decided to halt production THIS WEEK of the always delicious nectar of the gods, Coke Zero. Looks like it's either Diet Dr. Pepper or Coca-Cola Classic for me from here on out. Please don't suggest the swill known as Diet Coke, which I refer to as "garbage juice." Yeah, it's a slow time of the year for sports.

I hear so much alarm about how in today's world we are poisoning ourselves. Well, all things considered I'll take my chances in today's world with artificial sweeteners, food additives & pesticides versus the turn of the century where a glass of milk could be a death sentence. We have the safest and most abundant food supply in the history of the world. Death by acute illness has been replaced by chronic illness that as a general rule is influenced as much or more by how much we eat than what we eat as well as just the act of living longer lives.

I also enjoy Coke Zero.

Never knew USM alums/fans were such big fans of this product. Ha.

I'll just add this... many folks think the whole "autism spectrum" thing is bs. There is no clue as to what's causing it, and many people doubt it even exist. I didn't give it much thought myself... until my kid exhibited signs. He improved greatly with a better diet. But still today, corn of any type makes him zone out.. it's wierd, but I've seen it.

Let's be honest - studies can be behind on things. I'm not conspiratorial,but I do believe there are unintended consequences to a lot of things (advances) we do. Like I said, to each his own. I hope my kids eat more healty than I did. I was indestructable until 50 but it seems to be catching up to me in areas. I'm gonna have to double down on changing habits cause I love my sweets.

I hate how signs at Scott Field concessions advertise Coke Zero, but it's not sold there. Also, studies show that Sucralose counteracts the *** smell from plastic cups.
