Sodas

[Ash's Dildo]

I love white grape soda. Do you?

I've always liked sarsaparilla.

 

[Ash's Dildo]

I tried one, it wasn't for me.

ALDI has a nice white grape soda, but it's hard to beat a mix of diet cola (pepsi) and lemonade in 4:1 ratio. Australian ginger beer is a close second.

> there are people who still drink full sugar sodas when zero sugar sodas taste literally the exact same but don't make you fat

Sugar-free sodas contain aspartame, sucralose, and acesulfame potassium, which are all TERRIBLE for your health and heart. If you want to buzz that badly why don't you just smoke meth?

Besides the point is moot anyway, RFK Jr is getting Coca-Cola to switch to cane sugar like they already have in other countries.

Don't fall for the meme dude. Actual toxicology data shows you'd have to literally mainline diet soda like it's a frat party keg to hit anything remotely close to dangerous levels.

I trust what my cardiologist says more than some random guy on a forum.

RFK Jr is not a soda messiah. Coca Cola already sells the cane sugar version, it’s called Mexican Coke, and it's been on U.S. shelves for years at three times the price, mostly bought by hipsters.

I understand that they sell Mexican Coke as a novelty at the grocery store for $3 a bottle. They are in talks to produce ALL Coke in the United States with cane sugar.

Sugar free soda causes diabetes since the body can't break down the fake sugar with insulin and becomes insulin resistant because it makes more of it which does nothing for the fake sugar.

RFK Jr is on a god given mission to make food not just better but healthier. God bless him and his frog voice.

What??? That's not even how insulin works. Artificial sweeteners aren't sugar, your pancreas isn't pumping insulin to fight glucose that doesn't exist. Most of the sweeteners don't even get metabolized, they just pass through.

You don’t "use insulin" to break stuff down, insulin just opens the door for glucose to get into cells. No glucose = no need for insulin = no overproduction = no insulin resistance.

Your body produces insulin in response to sugar, fake sugar tricks the body and creates an insulin response but doesn't break it down. Your body can become resistant to insulin and will need more. This is a well known fact. And has been documented.

 

[The Crimson Fucker]

It can cause it over time not right away. This goes for more than just soda because they add it to almost everything now. Which builds up your tolerance to insulin over time. It's the reason why it's linked to type 2 diabetes. You're just denying objectives facts at this point. It's like saying you smoke cigarettes but never got lung cancer yourself.

his frog voice.

Come on, big dog. He has a neurological condition called spasmodic dysphonia. He can't help that is voice sounds like that, he can only help how incredibly BASED he is.

 

[Onion Null 2]

Not really. You're right that there's something called the cephalic phase insulin response where your body might release a super mega teeny tiny literal-who nigger bit of insulin in anticipation of sweetness. But that response is so fucking small, inconsistent, minimal, and varies by sweetener, person, and context. Like literally preheating the oven levels of insulin, not full on metabolic warfare.

Also there's no glucose spike, so there's literally nothing for the insulin to actually do. Your cells aren't getting flooded, your pancreas isn't in panic mode, and you're not somehow training your body to ignore insulin. The idea that this super small, occasional response leads to insulin resistance or diabetes is just speculative.

There's only a few cherry-picked rodent studies or correlation-heavy human ones with confounders everywhere that say that.



tl;dr: Artificial sweeteners don't work like sugar, your pancreas isn't that retarded, and metabolic disease is a bit more complicated than "Zero Sugar Dr.Pepper = diabeetus"
