Didn't the dietdoctor,com do a study with graphs, on the effect of Coca Cola on himself?
Doesn't anyone think that in moderation most things are ok
Just checking if I can post emoji12 like thumbs up. Seems notThink I've mist the point with that comment
I tend not to drink a lot of carbonated drinks as they gas me up, but a Diet Coke with ice is nice & refreshing drink and I'll occasionally have one when dinning out and have to drive, like everything it's moderation.
Nah she had to pop out to aldi to buy some more. Always amuses me very posh cars in aldi/lidl car parks.@Baruney Hi, I thought you were still at Liz's place, after drinking too much Coke.
I am afraid that entire barrages of scientific surveys are irrelevant to me, whether they argue for or against the use of sweetners.
I'm 48, which has given me decades of personal experience with artificial sweeteners. Sometimes I have had them intentionally, sometimes hidden in food and drink. Sometimes I am sure, I have not even noticed. However, different sweeteners can have different effects. Portion size is, I am sure, important. Sometimes it is that horrible chemically after taste (Diet Coke AND Diet Pepsi) sometimes it is insomnia (that gets old, fast), sometimes it is a jittery feeling, like too much coffee (that'll be the ones with caffeine then) Sometimes it is restless, cat-on-coals feeling.
Took a while to work out that it was the various chemicals in these drinks (and other processed food and drink), but now that I avoid them like the plague, life is much improved.
Huge studies are all very well for taking years to produce a single questionable finding, ready for it to be batted about, chewed and deconstructed by peer review. All very entertaining. But I prefer to listen to my body, and it says that Coke, Pepsi and all other such drinks do not suit me. (nor does sugar free jelly, which is a source of sadness, but improved sleep)
And the older I get, the less they suit me.
Be careful with Coke life it's not sugar free just reduced sugar it still has 22g of sugar in a canWhen I was diagnosed I switched to sugar free drinks, mainly Pepsi Max. My partner changed over at the same time as me because it was easier than buying 2 different types of coke. That was almost a year ago.
Just recently I mentioned to her that I was waking up with strange hand cramps in the morning and getting pains in my knees, to my surprise she replied that she was experiencing similar symptoms.
Looking around the web at various things I discovered several listings related to Aspartame and joint pain. We have now been Aspartame free for almost 2 weeks and the pains appear to be subsiding. Of course this may be coincidence, so I'm thinking of re-introducing Aspartame to my diet to see if the pains come back again.
I can only find 2 colas that don't contain Aspartame, Sainsbury's own brand which is sweetened with Sucralose and the new(ish) Coke Life which is sweetened with Stevia.
Scientific findings need scientific research. If you read some of the claims that Scientist disclaim because of lack of evidence makes you wonder what they are supporting. Scientific method and study is the way to prove a theory. But if scientist dont do the research then how can they disclaim the theory?That's fine, some people have a sensitivity to artificial sweeteners that is obvious and it's easy for them to know they shouldn't take them.
The peer review process is an important part of ensuring that scientific findings are as accurate as possible. Some studies have questionable findings, while others have stronger findings, and it takes knowledge of the scientific method and study design principles to be able to distinguish between them.
I most definitely do. No, let me try that again. I rather think you might be right. (Even moderate agreement is probably better, don't you think?Doesn't anyone think that in moderation most things are ok

Here's more from diet doctor in a link I have borrowed from elsewhere.Didn't the dietdoctor,com do a study with graphs, on the effect of Coca Cola on himself?
If find a lie within the first paragraph of a document, I don't even bother to finish it. I couldn't rely on anything it says without fact-checking it. If the carelessness - or deliberate misinformation - annoys me enough I may actively work to debunk it - even if it supports my side of the argument.Maybe it's just a case of their own tactics at spreading misinformation being returned in kind?

Just a guess - perhaps he didn't argue an assertion you (Celeriac) made about Diet Coke? I have doctors who humor me by just not arguing against anything I say - and sometimes even go so far as to say, "That could be," or "I guess so."True. Then the question is, did it help give you insulin resistance? I'm not sure how it would. It would be interesting to find out why he thought that, but I guess we'll never know.
