Are Diet Sodas Bad for You? Ending the Diet Soda Debate
Ever wonder if diet soda is bad for you? I mean, we've probably all heard that artificial sweeteners are basically poison. But is that a fair statement? And what affect will zero-calorie sweeteners have on you and your fitness goals?
Well in this video, I break it down for ya.
The short answer is no. For most people, diet sodas aren't bad and won't have a negative impact on health or fitness. Watch and see why, though. Because I do take into account the fact that there's research suggesting that artificial sweeteners are unhealthy and carcinogenic. (Diet sodas still aren't bad for ya, though, I promise.)
As noted in the video itself, I used a handful of screenshots from my friend, Aadam Ali's website in this. His site, physiqonomics.com, is great. And the screenshots come from his article about aspartame:

That's going to be the only link for this video as it also links to the cited research in the article itself. Figured I'd save you the link overload and just direct you over there if you wanted to take a deeper dive into the science.
Anywhoozle...

Oh and PS, this was filmed weeks ago. I have been well-quarantined lately thanks to the global pandemic we've got on our hands right now. So, the gym and the plane flight I mention happened back before COVID-19 turned the world upside down. I would have posted it sooner, but a video talking about diet soda just didn't seem important. But now I figured we could all use something besides a news update in our feeds. Stay safe and stay healthy ❤️
