Personal story debunks diet mythsfrom @drkazarian
[01]
Overview
The creator recounts a personal story of being at a party where she had to defend Diet Coke against claims that it causes weight gain. She then systematically debunks this myth by explaining that weight gain is based on calories, showing that Diet Coke has zero calories, and explaining the science of aspartame as a non-nutritive sweetener. To support her claims, she presents a screenshot of a scientific study and concludes by stating the safe daily limit of aspartame, asserting that critics of diet soda misunderstand basic nutrition.

ANYONE HATING ON DIET SODA DOES NOT UNDERSTAND CALORIES
Transcript
I was at a party, and before I know it, I'm that girl standing in the kitchen explaining Diet Coke, which is never a place where I want to be. This guy very confidently goes, diet soda is part of the problem. It's what makes people fat. Bro, don't come from my refrigerator cigarettes if you're not ready to talk about it. This other girl goes, I don't drink diet soda because it makes you fat. So now it's not a decision I have to be part of this conversation. I go, human weight gain and weight loss is all based on calories. Diet soda has zero calories. Do you see that? Zero calories. Aspartame is this really cool molecule that tricks your brain into thinking that it's sweet, but it's not. It's called a non nutritive sweetener. We've done randomized control trials comparing diet soda to better, and the a one c in the water group went up. The amount of confusion over this rank. Carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate, natural flavors, citric acid, and caffeine. The number one ingredient is carbonated water. The daily limit for an adult that weighs a hundred rank fifty pounds is three thousand five hundred milligrams of aspartame a day. That's 20 diet Cokes a day. Anyone hating on diet soda does not understand calories and is trying to make content and be contrarian.
