    I really have to try Diet A&W. Its highly promoted. So it's either really good or a lot of people work for them, :). Either way, I am down.

    It's very good. My non-milk drink of choice in the evening when I don't want caffeine.

    Coke Zero (even the new Coke Zero Sugar) is the bomb :) but it definitely triggers me to eat everything I can find. I don't have this reaction with much smaller amounts of artificial sweeteners such as in my coffee or water flavoring drops.

    Coke Zero Sugar is even better than Coke Zero was. They totally dialed it in.
    It's never made me hungry before though. In fact, I've drank it between meals to curb hunger.

    My apologies for linking the wrong study. I hope I did clarify that there were two cancer scares, neither substantiated, two artificial sweeteners. I like picking up Saccharine when I can find it. Too bad it got a bad rap.

    Yes, it rules and... Interesting...well, ya, it could also be my food addiction triggering me and not the Coke Zero. :)

    You are right im relating the two. My other post was saying sugars, i include them together Sugars/Sweetners) shouldn't but i do. Neither one are probably at all related sugar, aspartame and my personal fat loss but because it happened its kept me continuing what i'm doing. Just an interesting read below:

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2892765/

    How many people have you seen walking around with a double bacon cheeseburger and the largest french fry available...but it's all good because they're drinking a diet soda? I've seen lots...

    I hear this all the time, and I know everyone rolls their eyes at me for doing this, but if my calorie limit just barely allows my most-favoritest Whataburger lunch every so often (and as it is, I'm sacrificing the mayo for cheese and skipping breakfast), no way am I going to waste any of those calories on full-sugar soda when the diet version still brings me joy (JOY, I tell you!), and I don't know why this particular meal-ordering phenomenon is so vexing to people.

    If someone could come up with a zero-calorie bacon cheeseburger, I'd order that, too.

    agreed. Swapping diet soda for regular is an easy and painless way to moderate calorie intake. I can fit a bacon burger and fries into my day along with a diet soda.

    Bad bad bad

    I won't even touch a soda. I think the last time I had a soda was about 6 years ago.Diet soda and regular soda are both bad for you. Diet soda is just full of artificial sugar which is man-made and just chemicals and regular soda is just tons of high fructose corn syrup.Anyhoo,either way it's bad I won't drink it I only drink water I drink about a gallon and a half of water a day and unsweetened coffee and unsweetened tea.

    Know how we know you didn't read the thread before replying?

    Damn, beat me to it.

    Your computer is also manmade . . . so . . .

    So is the electricity that powers it.

    True story. Many years ago I took an Electronics course and the professor is discussing capacitors and resistors and how they work. Also explaining in full detail why they do not save energy. We as a class got it but some guy in the back asks, “Do capacitors save energy?” Ugh.
