Artificial sweeteners: C/D

I've never cared for the taste of them, not even sucralose (aka Splenda). Poison!

I bought a drink and it has both corn syrup and sucralose. wtf???

HATE

when nutrasweet was released they sent out a pack of free gumballs to like every breathing human on the planet and i was so sad when my free gumballs tasted like those pillow mints even though they were supposed to be some imaginary "fruit" flavor

that was the day that i lost my childhood hopes and dreams tbh

I used to drink a ton of sugary drinks and then I thought "this is dumb, I am drinking 600 calories a day and I don't need to drink ANY!£$*!" so I started drinking a ton of aspartame-containing drinks and then I realised "weird thing is, my gut and head have hurt every day since I started drinking diet drinks" and then I drank just water for a bit (but now I drink too much full-sugar Coke again) and no more pains

so that is my story, dull as it was

and that is why I have some sympathy with "sweeteners make your brain rot!" websites even though they are only ever 2 clicks away from stuff even I know is batshit conspiracy weirdo territory

like the community I found once where everyone could see bugs crawling out of their pores that nobody else could see, and could only cure them by ordering the leaf of some obscure Asian plant off the internet :( :(

I do like Canderel. It has aspartame in it. My husband (as everyone else) looks at me like I'm a fucking freak when I pour it in my yoghurt. 60 procent yoghurt, 40 procent Canderel. Hey what can I say, I love sweeeeeetness.

Coke Light is crap. If you drink it on an empty stomach, it acts all weird. So I don't drink it anymore. I tend to stick with tea (and Canderel) and water.
