When I drink a single can of Diet Coke or anything with aspartame, I get crippling stomach aches and then sudden diarrhea, all within about 2 hrs and very predictable. It's definitely not harmless. This doesn't happen to me with stevia or sucralose, and I know sucralose isn't good for your either.
- tracker1 6mo agoI have a similar negative response to legumes... but billions of people eat them without issue every day.
- jjice 6mo agoBut a lot of people don't have that effect. So maybe it's not harmful for everyone.
- amelius 6mo agoFunny, I have this with Coke Zero (which I believe uses stevia), but not with aspartame. The sale of this stuff should be prohibited, especially on long intercontinental flights.
- bitwize 6mo agoCoke Zero is sweetened with aspartame and phosphoric acid. It's just formulated differently to avoid the taste associated with Diet Coke, which some find unpleasant.
- amelius 6mo agoStrange, Google says this: > Coca-Cola updated the recipe for Coca-Cola Zero Sugar in the US, quietly adding stevia to the existing blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium (Ace-K) in late 2023/early 2024 Did they change it back?
