  Same. I have a sucralose energy drink every day after lunch. I generally don’t add sugar and buy low-sugar products. The joy this drink gives me sometimes feels like a drug trip.

    > The joy this drink gives me sometimes feels like a drug trip. Caffeine is a drug so saying "it feels like" is rather understating it.

      Agreed but while I drink and enjoy coffee, the equivalent caffeine from this drink somehow seems to pack more of a punch.

  Maybe not the right thread for this, but it seems there are downsides. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6363527/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6363527/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7014832/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7014832/

    Make sure to focus on the aspartame section, which doesn't show the same insulin effects as other sweeteners It is hard to understand how aspartame influences the gut microbiota because this NNS is rapidly hydrolyzed in the small intestine. In fact, even with the ingestion of very high doses of aspartame (>200 mg/kg), no aspartame is found in the blood because of its rapid breakdown (29).
