No one needs soft drink (soda) at all.
I lost 70 lbs back in 2014 (and have kept it off) since I learned the truth that food companies are just like any other business who will lie to your face to get whats in your wallet. It all started when I learned that excess sugar was the main culprit of weight gain. Then I learned that bread and other refined carbs convert into glucose in the bloodstream. As soon as I learned to read labels and reduce sugar intake (while exercising) the weight came off. I also came to the undedstanding that most food companies lie on the box to sell you their sugary crap. They will add all kinds of health conscious labels on the box convincing you how healthy their diabetes snacks are. A good example is coke zero. How the hell do you market a drink that is zero sugar, yet its still sweet? If its sweet then it has sugar in it, dumbass! Fast food is worse since most places dont provide labels unless you visit their website and see with your own eyes how insanely unhealthy their food actually is. I took the easy approach: if it was bread or was sweet, I didnt consume it (unless it was certain fruits and in moderation) and viola, the weight came off.
It's not that alternative sweeteners don't cause a metabolic reaction. Perhaps people like plausible deniability. What would happen to the person who is able to measure the caloric effect of calorie free sweeteners?
Fyi, neurologist friend swears up and down that sugar is better for your brain than the fake stuff. He tells all his patients to drink water and to avoid artificial sweeteners.
It's odd that we have to be told to drink water.
Yep. Most people would rather be lied to comfortably than actually take responsibility or make the apporpriate lifestyle changes to better improve themselves.
I believe that plausible deniability is just another way of saying "Lack of transparency". It allows governments, corporations and most institutions to skirt the need for transparency and integrity. They would rather spend time or money finding legal ways to lie than just be honest. Probably because honesty might destroy their bottom line. This is why I believe its up to each individual to do their own research and trust their own instincts rather than always listen to what the "experts" say most of the time.
And I would tend to agree with your neurologist friend. Im not an enemy of sugar and still enjoy it (the real thing I might add) because it does provide psychological benefits... when enjoyed in moderation. One of the most effective decisions of my weight loss journey was to not drink sugar, rather eat it instead. This one choice allowed me to see how much sugar is in our drinks from breakfast to dinner and even casually in alcohol. Unfortunately for most Americans, these food companies want you addicted to their food which is why they add sugar (including artificial ones) into the solid stuff as well giving us a double whammy of glucose.
Funny how disgust circumvents the body's addiction to sugar.
Now ask yourself why do they put soy lecithin and high fructose corn syrup in practically everything. You might find another motivating angle.
Cancer.
If I could award you 10 points I would.

But only the ones made in the US. A few years ago they shrunk how much of their product line isn't Chinese crap, and bilked a lot of long-time customers in the process, when the things fell apart.
Why not make a list of every company that has come out in support of (((causes))), and those that have not? So we can know where we can best put the pressure on with our money rather than guessing or relying on what limited information we have seen.

Just search it. People also want to support these companies so they are listed pretty openly in a positive light.
