As a life-long soda junkie that long ago switched to diet soda and seltzer I'll be the first to say that I don't consider diet soda or junk food made with artificial sweeteners "healthy food". At the same time the hyperbole on this topic, often coming from the a place of trying to be helpful, is really not grounded. Would it be better if I cut back on my diet soda habit or even better eliminated it? Absolutely. Is diet soda likely causing me ill health outcomes like: weight gain, gut health disregulation, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. No. This video has perhaps the best dissection of the present available evidence and solid recommendations at the end. #nutrition #fitness #health #longevity #ArtificialSweeteners #DietSoda

And the REAL reason people who do don't lose weight is simply because they're STILL EATING TOO MUCH SHIT!

in reply to Hank G ☑️ • • •I also try to keep my sugar load low - my tactic is to try to train myself to not need sweet. But that's hard - especially as we are small time maple sugar growers and I grew up addicted to the stuff.
There are a lot of non sucrose sugars. I'm exploring the use of Maltose in a lemon-sesame-pepper glaze I'm working on for boregs. I use barley malt syrup and diastatic malt powder when I make bagels - that malt syrup is also nice on ice cream.
I also discovered li hing mui powder. It has lots of uses. I use it on popcorn in lieu of salt. (The commercial offerings often contain sucrose substitute sweeteners, but a little of li hing goes a long way.)

in reply to Hank G ☑️ • •Yes, carbonated beverages cause health problems and without a doubt weight gain, but the type of sweetener used has nothing to do with it. Try this simple experiment that I did ingrade school for a science project: pour a glass of any kind of soda pop then drop a wad of raw ground beef into it and wait a couple days. Sometimes overnight is all that's needed.
Result: the meat will disappear leaving just the fat.

in reply to Hank G ☑️ • • •..but she drank a can of soda every day. I asked her if that was healthy, and her reply was " I can tell you where every molecule of that soda goes, and it is not doing me any harm". I figured she was one person who would know, so I dropped it forever.

It's Friday and I'm weary of this week's bullshit. Actual information is nice.
