"In any case, diet products are associated with higher instances of diabetes, heart disease and obesity." Most anything can be show to have an association with bad things. But your statement has been pretty much debunked by reputable studies. Users have given you the links to the studies and you tried to change the subject by talking about the government and the presidential candidates. Please stick to the point at hand.
And when @redeyemindtricks gave all that information, with the link to document it, you called her a "self-righteous know it all". Really? WTF? You put out bad info and people here are trying to nicely show you the truth and your reaction is to fight with them.
Another user pointed out that your statement that the artificial components stayed in the body was wrong and your response was "Bruh my specialty is analytical chemistry" So she put on a video link that totally supported what he said and instead of even listening to it you said, "You got anything shorter because ain't nobody got time for that." What that is saying is yopu do not have time for the facts.
If you don' like the taste of artificial sweeteners and don't want to drink them, then don't. But this whole question has been turned into a saga because you put out bad info then refuse to listen to others who point out the problems with your position and say you don't have time to listen to the video proof.
well I don't think they should be banned if a lot of people like drinking it.
I would just check the nutrition label and decide from there.
Low calorie products are a no-go if you're trying to lose weight. Your brain can recognise the difference between artificial sweeteners and sugar, meaning you're more likely to crave MORE sugar after consuming anything that is low calorie. It's a marketing ploy to trick people into thinking they're eating healthily.
Well I don't think they should be banned but I also don't think that they should be promoted in a positive way, just like cigarettes!
The sad thing is that A LOT of people who restrict their calories will take a 1 cal Diet Coke over a 150cal smoothie. Nutrients > calories.

No, they shouldn't. Low calories products are an ideal alternative, much less harmful than processed sugar.
You should avoid sugary products anyways, so eating even low quantities of sugar IS harmful for your health. Low calorie products are more healthier in comparision, though it doesn't mean you can eat those in excess because that's where people go wrong.
Ideally, the only sugary foods we are supposed to eat are fruits. Sugar acts as a poison in the body, according to biochemistry, almost exactly as alcohol does. The reason why fruits are ideal is because of the high amount of fiber they contain. Fiber acts as an anti poison basically, and aids your body metabolize sugar appropiately. What diet products do is only lower to some degree the impact of sugar in your liver, and circulation, but they don't fully solve the actual problem about sugar.
I mean i get the hype around it n all, i thought it was toxic; but its actually been disproven that sucralose is bad for you. It's simply a myth circulated around the internet by mercola. com

They are banned from my diet lol. I'd rather just drink water than some nasty ass drink with less calories.
I kind of think they should just because of what artificial sweeteners do to the body. Plus, I'm also allergic to a lot of them and they're super gross.
They advertise health yet are in many cases worse for the body than non low calorie products. Buyer beware
Why would someone ban low calorie foods? Seriously. We need to get rid of all the processed crap that has at least 200+ calories PER item. They aren't even filling. They just fatten us up.
That's your fault for not checking the labels, to be honest.
So should diet soda
Seriously you'd have to be a major masochist to like diet coke
u It depends on how you resolve the conflict between individual freedom and responsibility and the desire to have our government act in parens patriae.
Banning may be harsh but I agree wtih you and they affect us very badly.
Lol no way. Less detrimental than sugars.
@redeyemindtricks should we spend the time unloading our nutrition knowledge on gag today?
Free market capitalism; you have the right to buy or not buy
strangley enough i was speaking about this kinda of stuff in my class today weird :)
Ya but I'd like to live in a less obese country please
No let people choose what they eat as long as it's approved by the FDA.
i just gave a facebook page about sugar a run down of of more serous issues in the world. the issue here isn't low calories, it's laziness
Most fat people drink diet coke😈
why did you buy it if you already know the risks?
