    Hot showers cause cancer, so you should cease and desist with all personal hygiene immediately.*






















    Yes, I'm implying a point here....

    Ya, Diet Coke has aspartane in it and supposedly causes brain rot... though my parents, who are Diet Coke addicts, seem to be doing well in their 60's. Many of the 'sugar free' options you see out there have some type of artificial sweeteners like various forms of corn syrup, etc. If you look at Jello pudding, they have a fat free chocolate pudding at 100 cals and a sugar free chocolate pudding at 60 cals. I go w/ the fat free at 100 cals just to be on the 'healthier' side (if you want to call it that). To each his/her own, but you can find that just about everything causes cancer these days. Not be harsh about it, and while I try to have things w/ out artificial sweeteners, I'm not going to eat carrots and apples for the rest of my life.

    What the holy hell is "brain rot"?

    I'm fairly certain brain rot was what I got in HS history class.

    Something caused by reading too many threads about exercise calories and artificial sweeteners.

    So one could argue that HS ALSO causes "brain rot". *strokes imaginary beard in an intellectual fashion*

    Ha, hell if I know?! Someone explained 'lining the brain', etc earlier in this thread. But brain rot is what people always tell me as I sip on my Diet Coke.

    By the way... Fiber One cereal and other Fiber One products use all artificial sweeteners. I'm fairly certain alot of people use Fiber One products to be more... ummm.... regular.

    On a positive note, if you are infected with brain rot, then zombies don't come after you. They only eat unrotted brains. True story.

    Ive heard from two doctors that say if your going to drink pop, drink regular and stay far away from diet; the chemicals in them r very bad for you, help u gain weight, bloat, and are really unhealthy for you.


    So REGULAR soda DOESN'T have chemicals, aren't bad for your, don't make you gain weight or bloat, and aren't really unhealthy for you? Awesome! I'll have a twelve pack!!!!

    Actually with pretty much every substance natural or synthetic, you will be able to find many 'for and against' articles, science and research claims to prove one way or the other, as well as people's opinions as to their beliefs and how they view these claims.

    Bottom line? Opt for less chemicals in general...and if you have something from time to time that is 'artificial' try not to over react. Personally I stay more natural as that is what feels comfortable to me.
