wanna justify that a little bit lmao
1. Hunger and cravings • Sweeteners can make your brain expect calories after tasting sweetness. When those calories don't come, your brain may increase cravings for more food, especially carbs and sugar. • Some studies suggest they disrupt appetite regulation, leading to overeating later.2. Insulin and blood sugar • While most artificial sweeteners don't spike blood sugar directly, some (like sucralose) may affect insulin sensitivity in certain people. This could make weight loss harder over time.3. Gut microbiome • Research shows artificial sweeteners can alter gut bacteria. An imbalanced microbiome has been linked to weight gain, metabolic issues, and sugar cravings.4. "Compensation effect" • People often think "I saved calories with diet soda, so I can eat more elsewhere." This subconscious trade-off cancels out the calorie savings.5. Psychological effects • Constant use of very sweet tastes (even without calories) keeps your palate trained for sweetness, making it harder to adjust to whole, less-sweet foods that actually help with weight control.
yes, there are some people who will eat more because of drinking diet soda, blah blah blah. but anyone who routinely drinks energy drinks with this level of caffeine probably has very specific reasons for doing it (weightlifting, weight loss, etc. etc.), or is just one of those aforementioned people who eat more instead and are working against themselves. either way, proselytizing about the dangers of fake sugar in a thread about energy drinks probably isn't the best usage of your..energy
