Oddbean new post about login | logout Diet sodas are no better than sugary drinks for diabetics "a study reveals that both regular and diet soft drinks result in higher insulin levels" "Diet sodas, once seen as a healthy alternative to sugar-packed, regular sodas, may do more bodily harm than good" "World Health Organization: aspartame “possible carcinogen” and "warning the public not to use non-sugar sweeteners for weight loss" Basically this has been a public secret for a long time already. https://nypost.com/2023/09/13/diet-sodas-are-no-better-than-sugary-drinks-for-diabetics/
eh that’s fucking bullshit. Sure if you mix the two, you’re still taking in tons of sugar. If you only drink diet sodas, you’re not taking in any of that liquid sugar. Sugar (both cane and HFCS) are both really fucking bad for people in the amounts they’re consumed these days.
