So, I can keep drinking my beloved zero mountain dew?
There are other things in that which are bad for you.
prove it
I would if I weren’t going to bed. Feel free to ignore me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's pretty interesting how many walls of text you'll write to defend an unnecessary additive but not to prove you should just drink water
Another straw man.
You should switch to Diet Baja Blast. It’s healthier because it’s tastier or something.
Green means healthy!
The "zero" beverages are usually sweetened with Sucrolose primarily. Not Aspertame. Though I've seen some with primarily Sucrolose and also Aspertame as a secondary ingredient.
Mountain dew has aspartame
The original selling point was partly that it wasn't aspartame, but I think that's changing to the mixture since some people react poorly to sucrolose.
Was it? I thought it was just an angle to use a better tasting sweetener than Aspertame. Sucrolose tastes much closer to sugar than Aspertame does, probably because Sucrolose's chemical structure is very close to sucrose.
Yeah some of the Diet brands were running as "aspartame free" when it was gaining popularity
