    Coke zero is worse for your health. Artificial sweeteners have pretty bad health effects, especially the one used in coke.

    It is heavily suspected of being able to cause, heart issues, and having the counter intuitive effect to actually make your brain want more sugar, because the complete sugar activation mechanism isn’t triggered properly. It is also slightly suspected to cause cancer, although researchers don’t agree at all on this subject.

      Uhm, source??

      I love how people just feel like artificial sweeteners must be bad for you. They’re okay. Not healthy, but way better than sugar.

      Also: Coke can still be kinda unhealthy, other ingredients etc…

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame

        For transparency, here is another page that seems more in favor of Aspartame: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy

        Here’s the conclusion of Yuka, which is a lot more on the “alarmist” side: https://help.yuka.io/l/en/article/r2x5e36paq-aspartame (note that the US FDA is considered as really lax compared to some other countries in Europe in terms of additives and health concerns worldwide)

        Many studies show that artificial sweeteners doesn’t help with weight loss at all

          Having less calories helps? Those ppl they studied likely didnt practice cico and ate more because they thought they saved calories from drinking less soda so they ended up at maintenence or over

          If they studied ppl who thought they were drinking regular soda but it was sugar free than youd see wight loss, but they were aware that it was sugar free and 0 calories so they ate more
