Curious if its bc of health reasons, gut issues etc. I love sucralose, brown sugar erythitol, and alluose. Stevia can fuck off
 
I don't but I also don't use a crazy amount. I use Splenda in my oatmeal and then whatever is in the few diet sodas I have a week.
 
No, I try to stay away from artificial sweeteners. I rather have real sugar if I'm going to have it, that being said. While on a cut I will indulge in some artificial sweetened soda
 
I consume everything with artificial sweeteners, diet cokes, Gatorade zero, zero sugar energy drinks here and there, zero sugar French vanilla creamer you name it.
 
Yes I avoid them. I’d rather real sugars if I consume any type of soda, and or energy drink but that’s not often

In my oat meal I use stevia

I don't worry about it.

I drink a lot of protein shakes that are loaded with fake sugars. I know they are notorious for causing joint pain and inflammation but I need my shakes.

Truenutrition is your answer
 
Fuck no. I guzzle that shit like it's fucking ambrosia, the nectar of the gods. 40+ years of 2+ liters of diet Pepsi, diet Mt. Dew, diet whatever every day. Whatever the artificial sweetener of the day is, I put that shit on whatever I want to taste sweet to avoid real sugar and the calories that come with it. My pre-workout, a caffeine pill and diet Pepsi. My drink of choice in the gym, diet Mt Dew. First drink in the morning, diet Pepsi. Don't give two shits thought about it, and I'm doing just fine.

Fuck yeah I do! 😂 You know what I also do because it's fucking funny, I bring a cheap ass plastic vodka bottle to the gym, filled with water, just to mess with people :ROFLMAO: If you can't have fun in the gym, you aren't doing it right.

Go look up the data on the clinical rat studies in which artificial sweeteners gave them all cancer. And ensure your daily intake amounts are far lower based on body weight. Lol

Well, as an actual scientist and published researcher, I have done just that, because I was also worried about it. As it turns out, the studies which produced cancer in lab mice used between 500 and 1,000 times the dose of a single 12 oz can of diet soda, per pound of body weight. So, given a mouse's size, and a human's size, this equates to 2,000 to 4,000 cans of diet soda a day (assuming a 200 pound person, and a 1/2 pound rodent). I am a scientist, and I believe in science, but this is the problem with sensationalist bullshit. The original studies did not seek to prove artificial sweetener causes cancer, they sought to prove how much sweetener does it take. They concluded, it takes a metric shit tonne. However, the popular media gets a hold of it and screams, "artificial sweetener causes cancer!" Yes, of course it does, at 1,000+ times the dose per day, but they "conveniently" forget to tell you about the 1,000x part. You know what else will kill you? Water. If you drink it at 100x your daily limit. You know what else will kill you? Oxygen. At just 3x your daily limit. Everything is a toxin if you go to absurd limits. As for artificial sweeteners, all available data suggest it takes an amount so egregious, you would first die of hydration poisoning before anything else, and there is literally almost zero risk in the substance itself. The problem in our society is not the science or the scientists, it's both CNN and Fox News telling half the story to get likes and views, and to keep us scared and at each others throats. There is literally no credible evidence of artificial sweeteners causing harm even in very large but still reasonable doses. What's "reasonable?" Even 2-4 liters of diet soda a day is still 500-1000 times less than what it takes to cause damage.

All that aside, we're in a fucking anabolic steroid forum for fucks sake. If we're shooting Tren and dBol and we're worried about diet Coke, we need to seriously get some fucking priorities straight! :ROFLMAO:

God damn it, now I want chocolate cookies. Fuck you :mad:
 
Gives me the absolute shits. It’s in my flavored karbolyn right now. I have to dilute it a ton and drink it slowly.

yeah, Stevia is okay but for me Splenda tastes mostly like sugar, zero calories and supposedly its the healthiest one.

That's what I live on. The squirt bottle liquid Stevia when I use it. I usually drink a gallon of eaas at the gym which I believe uses sucralose, a gallon during bed with 6 scoops of Redmond relyte electrolytes, and approx a gallon of Dr pepper zero sugar a day with some zero sugar Kool aid squirt stuff in it
 
At one point in my life I was drinking so much diet coke that I had full body joint pains and I didn't know why? Years ago. It was only when I started drinking more water and less diet coke that it went away. These days I have 1-2 cup of diet coke with my lunch and that's it. All water the rest of the day

My parents used Stevia and it was the sweetener we always had on the table. So I'm used to the taste and its what I use. I don't even have any other sugar in the house.
 
as a former super fat guy I rely on these quite a bit.
In my head using whatever amount of splenda truvia trumps being fat.
