In addition to your caffeine, you get a “healthy” dose of synthetic sugar (aka Sucralose) [1] and other crap added by the drink company to market it as “healthy”
Personally, I can’t stand those drinks. Every “0 calorie, 0 sugar” drink is nearly identical in ingredients. Some use different forms of synthetic sugar. The taste is off putting.
Sure, there _might_ not be a glycemic spike but at what cost that has not been studied?
- what’s the impact to gut microbiome?
- what’s the impact to other human physiology? (Increased cancer risk?)
I’ll take my risk with real sugar and just limit the consumption to very sparingly.
