So?

The thread title was supposed to be "What's your favorite cola?" but I fucked up.

the last time i've drank cola was months ago. i don't think i remember having a favourite

was heavily addicted to pic related in hi skool and i got fat slamming 3 of these on the daily. I'm also a sucker for fountain pepsi, but only a few sipz


drinking from a can is really the worst way, i kinda treat soda like alcohol: fancy or not at all

tru ngl diet pepsi especially thats my shit

Lately I've been trying these Fanta sodas and they're great

melon Fanta is the best but it's not sold stateside

Speaking of fancy cola, I haven't had it in a few years but I remember Fentiman's Cola being good. I like that craft colas tend to have a strong ginger taste.

My go to is coke zero because coke is usually on sale. I do like pepsi zero more.
I also like coke zero cherry.

>"diet" anything
Tbh, you're better off drinking regular soda than anything with artificial sweeteners. Soda is not something you should be drinking all the time anyway, it should be a once in a while treat.

What about sucralose?

>>308656
Years ago I learnt that it's something like this
>Aspartame
>doesn't make you hungry/crave good but it's pretty poisonous
>Sucralose
>is pretty safe but will make you feel hungrier because of the way it tricks the brain
I personally stick to sucralose and tough it out, like, I recognize that that hunger isn't real and continue focusing on whatever I was doing, much better than whatever the fuck aspartame has going on

So is Sucralose better than Sugar?

sucralose still stims vagus into releasing insulin just like aspartame and sugar. it just doesn't contain calories. if you eat too few calories but still get lots of insulin response, you break down muscle for energy instead of what you ate or fat.. insulin is bad for things unrelated to weight also

insulin prevents you from losing weight because it prevents stored energy (fat cells) from being used to power your body. zero calorie is a literal scam for weight loss on top of tasting bad

nature intended sugar to be used to prevent starvation during the long periods (sometimes weeks) ancient humans went without finding food. we evolved to enjoy it so much because humans needed to want to eat it whenever possible since in nature it doesn't occur that much. not eating any carbs means you'll go keto, which is a survival mechanism meant to increase the chances of finding actual nutrition. you were simply not meant to eat sweet things everyday and the insane amount of insulin that's considered normal for children will have lots of metabolic and cellular consequences starting in midlife if kept up into adulthood

sucralose activates taste receptor type 1 member 3 (T1R3), generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), and triggering endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and lipogenesis,

Diet coke is my favorite but it does taste like car fuel kek

I FUCKING LOVE DIET COKE!!!!!!!!!!
