I just find it to be a very interesting topic, because a lot of foods contain artificial sweeteners. It would be really beneficial if they weren't particularly harmful. Everybody says they are, and it seems like they should be.

But the best type of studies (human randomized control trials) have been specifically conducted on key arguments against artificial sweeteners (affect on weight loss/gain, and on the gut microbiome) and they all show zero effect.

I put stevia in coffee sometimes because it's the most "natural", but it seems like they are all pretty harmless in moderation.

The absolute best fake sugar for cooking and coffee is Swerve. Hands down.

If it makes you feel any better he would randomly PM me to vent about you being an evil witch doctor. At one point there was a thread of like 30 PMs of videos of conspiracy theories, stock tips (which all immediately tanked; I kept track) and HL attacks with absolutely 0 response. He simply gave zero fucks that I ignored him.

He’s got to be dead, right?

Seems impossible to me that we’re in the golden age of conspiracy theories, in year two of a pandemic, and there’s a massive global vaccination campaign in progress, and that he hasn’t popped in here at any point to rant and rave.

Either dead, or fled to the underground bunker off in the wilderness that he’s been prepping for all these years.

Saccharine was the one that caused the cancer in lab rats back in the 70's if I recall. And in the States you could still buy soda that had saccharine if you wanted. They just had a warning label like the ones on cigarettes. Once Aspertame became a thing saccharine disappeared.

Yeah he usually comes back with a new account once in awhile. No chance he's still alive unless he hacked Beleafer's account which would explain everything.

There is an obesity crisis and a diabetes crisis (ie. diabesity) in the world, and while a lot of people drink diet pop and are overweight, they have many other bad habits as well. So it's crucial to know if artificial sweeteners are part of the problem or the solution.

Layne Norton is very emphatic about CICO because that's what the data shows. There's a lot of other factors at play but at the end of the day if you consume more calories than you burn, you will gain weight, and vice-versa. Fast food and sugar are high-calorie, low-satiety foods that are the real cause of these problems. Too much food that is always available (for the first time in human history), combined with not enough exercise.

If artificial sweeteners are in fact harmless, they should be a key factor in this battle.

But even more importantly, Coke Zero is fucking awesome.

Regular soda is big on calories, sugar and carbs. Cutting them out of your diet will make losing weight a whole lot easier to be sure. But I see plenty of people who go to McDonald's and order a double quarter pounder, large fries, half a dozen McNuggets and a chocolate sundae with their extra large diet coke. I don't know if they suffer from cognitive dissonance or what. But their first step toward losing weight should be to not go to McDonald's in the first place.

Shave 110 calories off of that 2200 calorie order. Seven days of that and you are down 770 calories and looking svelte!

This is craft beer all over again

I spend hours reading and trying different shit out. This particular J I rolled I am very please with. Just wrote down the exact recipe because I'll be fucked if I will remember this tomorrow.

Most craft beer is garbage. All these guys do is keep adding more and more hops to their already over-hopped brews. I'd sooner drink a Utica Club or a Dow than an over-hopped microbrew.
