But on the actual topic , artificial sugars damages your DNA and molecular structure as it’s a NON substance the body doesn’t recognize. What levels you I just I don’t know ? I’m assuming long term use every day isn’t a good thing no matter what ?

There's no such thing as genuinely healthy food nowadays. Even the bio market is almost completely controlled by the large industrial groups. Little by little, they're bringing (theoretically) biological food into the supermarket chain, decreasing the quality of its components while still rising the prices. These people want all of us to become ill, and/or develop addictions of some kind, be it junk food, or pills to fight obesity.

Regardless of bio issues, better stay away from any type of fast food, sodas, and sweets in general. I lost five or six kilos, and all of my residual fat, just by giving up my daily dose of breakfast biscuits. There's some real shìt in most everything, and we don't even realize it.

And I won't even mention meat.

Yep. The large industrial groups wield a lot of control now, even with the government agencies that are supposed to regulate them.

SALT LAKE CITY — One of the primary ingredients in your favorite diet soda could be linked to cancer.

The World Health Organization plans to list aspartame — an artificial sweetener commonly used in diet soda, sugar-free gum and reduced-sugar condiments — as a possible carcinogen. But Registered Dietician Nutritionist with the Huntsman Cancer Center Emily Preib says you shouldn’t panic.

“A lot of the research has been inconclusive,” she said. “But now that we have more information and it now is being recognized, I don’t think there is any need to panic.”

In the research published by Reuters, the study clarifies that “since 1981, JEFCA [the joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization’s Expert Committee on Food Additives] has said aspartame is safe to consume within accepted daily limits Aloe Vera Gel.” The research shows adults would have to drink between 12 and 36 cans of diet soda – depending on the amount of aspartame in the beverage – every day to be at risk. That’s 432 ounces of the stuff.

“Most of my recommendations when it comes to nutrition is always going to come down to moderation,” Preib said. “It’s kind of the best thing we can do.”

Many companies have already moved away from using large amounts of aspartame. So, unless you’re drinking those 36 cans a day, you’ll most likely be alright.

“It’s just more information that we have and that’s what’s important,” Preib assured. “So again, just kind of taking that and moving forward.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) is considering listing aspartame, an artificial sweetener commonly found in diet soda and other products, as a possible carcinogen. However, Registered Dietician Nutritionist Emily Preib from the Huntsman Cancer Center advises against panicking. She explains that while some research on aspartame and cancer has been inconclusive, more information is now available, and the potential link is being recognized. Preib points out that since 1981, the joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization's Expert Committee on Food Additives (JEFCA) has stated that aspartame is safe within accepted daily limits. According to the research mentioned in Reuters, an individual would need to consume an extremely high amount of aspartame, between 12 and 36 cans of diet soda per day, to be at risk. Preib emphasizes moderation in nutrition as a general principle, and notes that many companies have already reduced the use of aspartame in their products. As long as consumption remains within reasonable limits, there should be no significant cause for concern. Preib concludes by highlighting the importance of having more information and using it to move forward in making informed decisions.

There are crazies who do consume that much soda

This is why I never drank diet soda. Some people swear by it.

Yeah, I never trusted diet soda either. The real key is to minimize your sugary drinks that you can have the real thing those times that you have it. Drinking calories is the easiest thing in the world. If I buy I jug of chocolate milk I can’t stop drinking it. Massive calories but at least it has protein and is hydrating… which is what I tell myself anyway.
I love cold filtered water at least, I know for some people water is hard to drink.
Also soda or cans of anything has skyrocketed in price. If you are filling up a garbage bag a week of drink containers, get over yourself and feel guilty about it.
I used to fill a 4L with water ad four tea bags, half equivalent of sugar that soda has and add some lemon juice. Let it sit overnight and its as good as any iced tea ive ever had. The problem is 4L of cold iced tea sitting in your fridge is just too convenient for me. Yeah I made it with half the sugar soda has but who cares if you are drinking litres of the stuff.

I do love to drink hot tea, but when its cold. I make it at night, fridge it, and drink in the AM
