Citation? I have a decent number of friends who are sugar-free soda enjoyers. They don't seem to have any adverse effects from these sugar substitutes.
Can you link any papers about these adverse reactions?
- FriedrichN 2y agoI have yet to encounter a soda that uses sugar alcohols, most use aspartame, ace-K, sucralose, or stevia. Those don't bother me at all. But the side-effects of sugar alcohols are pretty well known (especially to anyone who has had the pleasure of eating beyond their threshold). I haven't searched for any papers but I'm sure you'll find plenty that conclude that many people have adverse reactions to sugar alcohols. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_alcohol#Side_effects https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_alcohol#Side_effects
- reedf1 2y agoIt's in sugar free red bull unfortunately.
- FriedrichN 2y agoNot where I live (ace-K and sucralose). Maybe it differs per region.
- josefritzishere 2y agoMannitol is literally a laxative if you're looking for an adverse reaction... Just eat a few too many haribo sugar-free gummies.
