04.13.12 | It doesn't taste like coke
It tastes like artificial sweetner |
Emim
04.13.12 | yeah how bout you just not drink it considering it tastes like diet coke mixed with shit |
Spec
04.13.12 | Yeah it tastes like shit. Also I haven't actually smoked in a while, so proud of myself. |

04.13.12 | dude the scare about aspartame has been around forever and it's entirely bullshit. just an urban legend. |
sifFlammable
04.13.12 | well right now the plan is to continue drinking it until it tastes like medicine
|
sifFlammable
04.13.12 | hmm yeah sat thats what iv been hoping was the case
reckon its just safe to continue consumption? )) |
Spec
04.13.12 | I don't know man. There's been some studies that found some pretty nasty things but for the most part they're very hard to
find. Not advertised at all. I wouldn't pound that shit down too often. |

04.13.12 | I mean you could switch over to something that uses splenda or some shit (because coke zero blows anyway), but yeah that whole aspartame debate is complete bullshit until someone can pull up some real proof on how it has negatively affected humans, which they can't. Health nuts love to blast you with constant bullshit about how bad aspartame is for you but no one can actually tell you what negative effect is has on you.
I actually wouldnt be surprised at all if there was some negative effect to ingesting a ton of artificial sweetener like that, but it's been around for so damn long with no clear sign of being bad that the effect would have to be small enough that you shouldn't get concerned over drinking a reasonably large amount of coke zeros. I read on some forum not too long ago questions from people who were literally eating stuff like splenda or sweet n low constantly. Like they were eating it as a form of dieting to replace meals because it tasted great and was zero calories. If you start doing that, get fucking concerned. Otherwise, drink up on that coke zero. Also, great album choice. Can't wait for it. |

04.13.12 | OH WOW RECENT REPORTS ABOUT ASPARTAME?????
|
TMobotron
04.13.12 | except coke zero or other diet sodas provide a sweet taste that water doesn't and some people enjoy that. It also has sodium and like Spec said caffeine. Energy drinks can be zero calorie too but still have tons of shit that separates it from water. |

Captain North
04.13.12 | Coke zero tastes exactly the same as normal coke. Diet coke is the one that tastes shit. |
TMobotron
04.13.12 | Diet Coke tastes like a drink that understands that it's different. It's been artificially sweetened and so it should be different from regular Coke. Coke Zero tastes like a drink that doesn't understand that. It wants to be the same as Coke, but fucking fails miserably and ends up tasting like this pathetically syrupy drink that wants to taste like Coke but ends up being some artificially syrupy sweet drink that can't satisfy the original coke crowd and can't satisfy the diet coke crowd either. |
ReturnToRock
04.13.12 | Coke Zero has aspartame?
Blimey!
*stops drinking it* |
Captain North
04.13.12 | I dunno, most people I know don't seem to mind it. Then there's Pepsi Max which actually tastes better than Pepsi |

04.13.12 | "diet soda is an easy way to cut down on calories though."
fucking idiots man. you could always stop drinking sodas. still has buckets of sugar in it. coke zero is about 0.000005% healthier than coke. |
paxman
04.13.12 | What Aids said. You're not going to lose any weight by drinking diet soda.
Also, aspartame is the worst tasting shit ever. Just thinking about it makes me sick. |
bakkermaarten007
04.13.12 | Drink water, juices, coffee and some alcohol in the evening like I do. That's way healthier than drinking soda all day. Even with the alcohol. |

04.13.12 | when i was younger i was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and was told that artificial sweetener was unhealthy for those with the disease so i steered clear as best I could for a while. that's about all i know |

04.13.12 | "fucking idiots man. you could always stop drinking sodas. still has buckets of sugar in it. coke zero is about 0.000005% healthier than coke."
uh no this assumes that you'd be drinking normal coke instead of diet coke. this being the case drinking coke zero would be /very much/ healthier than coke.
also i can't really get over the 'diet' tag on diet coke so i drink coke zero
lets be real it makes you feel like a fag drinking it |

04.13.12 | "fucking idiots man. you could always stop drinking sodas. still has buckets of sugar in it. coke zero is about 0.000005% healthier than coke."
it has no sugar though... at least diet coke doesn't, which is what i normally drink.
and i don't need to lose any weight, i just figure if i'm going to drink soda i might as well save those calories for something else.

04.13.12 | I can't stand any artificial sweetener I've ever tried for more than a taste or two. Cane sugar is my
preference for the best flavor and aftertaste but I don't drink more than six soft drinks in an
average week at the most. |

04.13.12 | just drink water |
KjSwantko
04.13.12 | If you eat healthy and generally are healthy then the sugar in coke won't be detrimental to you. I do remember reading an article about how any carbonated beverage, zero calorie or not, was still linked to gaining weight though. But as far as the aspartame concern, try Zevia, it's a natural zero calorie soda made from Stevia which is a natural sweetener. You can find it in a lot of grocery stores. |
sifFlammable
04.13.12 | my only concern at this stage is the “Generally Recognized As Safe” process by the FDA which really isnt very assuring / suspect to political and financial pressures |

ive been told that zevia is decent for many flavours but is poor on the cola flavour. sucks. |

04.14.12 | I've heard aspartame won't be around much longer with its links to brain cancer. And this is from the healthcare professional in my family. Ask any doctor about aspartame and you'll get an answer you won't want to hear. |
