From the start I've never drunk all these Zero drinks because after reading a little about just how poisonous aspartame is, it was obvious this stuff shouldn't be consumed.
I'd rather drink sugar sugar than aspartame. Having said that I've just stopped drinking all of these sweet drinks all together.
I hope the truth gets out to the public
Same, I don't think it's a good habit to regularly drink sugary drinks even if they have "fake" sugar in them. It's just these companies finding ways for us to consume more of their product without the guilt of calories.
When I'm thirsty I drink water. And very rarely will I drink something else with real sugar like juice, a beer, or even rarer an actual soda.
In the end, the aspartame in the coke Zero is likely less harmful than the sugar, and I would pick a coke Zero every day of the week over coke with sugar.
Sugar is just not healthy.
Having said that I’ve just stopped drinking all of these sweet drinks all together.
I personally just got tired of them. Alcohol-free beer (EDIT: yes, I know it's not quite beer) is nice too.
I've always wondered why anyone would drink beer without alcohol in it. I always assumed it was only ever used by alcoholics trying to kick their addiction, or desperate teenagers who can't get a fake ID.
Do you just really like the taste of beer?
