Even the photo looks like woo, without bothering to watch.

Good video. Covered very good points on the myths that the media and "natural" sites exaggerate about how "bad" artificial sweeteners are for your body. But also showed how the correlation between weight gain and artificial sweeteners have some evidence supported by how people consume calories along with artificial sweeteners.

Yeah it’s the opposite of that. She’s a health and fitness vlogger but is also a scientist doing her PhD. She comes down on the side of them being perfectly safe, but good thing you were able to judge so well.

I really like how more radicalized members on MFP (or even the IIFYM community) have become ever since they "discovered" the concept of energy balance.

Anything that suggests maybe there's a good reason to limit consumption of x is automatically "WOO".

But yes, the video has solid information. Luckily i'm not one of the individuals who over-compensates on sugar and calories when drinking diet sodas.

Honestly, we constantly tell people here not to get their info from you tube, so when I saw this posted with no explanation I assumed it would be woo you wanted to make fun of and didn't bother clicking through. It wouldn't surprise me if other people are making the same assumption.

There's plenty of good and bad info everywhere, not sure I've ever seen YouTube singled out. Anyways, for some actual science, do click through. It wasn't meant to be a mean trap.
