Reply #10: Splenda, Nutrasweet, Stevia, even Saccharin are not bad for you [View All]

[Taverner]

All the studies show is that if you drink 20 cans a day it's bad for you. Well shit, I got news for you. DRINKING 20 CANS OF ANYTHING EXCEPT WATER IS BAD FOR YOU!!!!

But sugar is known to raise your insulin, and HFCS will raise your insulin level the highest. Behind that Cane Sugar, behind that Honey.

And of course all three contain sugar carbs, which will be stored as fat if not used. Drink a Coke and run a mile, you won't gain weight - you'll lose it. Drink a Coke and work on the puter, you'll store fat.

Splenda on the other hand, is not processed. It is not burned as a carb, and it does not cause an insulin spike. The caffeine, however, prevents Ketatosis and drinking too many of them will cause you to store fat as it wreaks havoc on your metabolism.

So limit your cokes, but those studies that show rats getting fat from drinking diet coke is pure BS.
