    Artificial Sweeteners.

    I just started quaffing a can of something I didn't notice [stated quite blatantly] is sugar free. Yech't! This after accidentally buying a can of Pepsi a couple of weeks back, not realising it by default now contains artificial sweeteners too (here in the UK, anyway).

    I don't get how this shit's become so accepted - it's disgusting. Stuff I've just had now has Steviol in it, which I thought was the one that tasted least bad, but it's immediately and horribly apparent :(

    • oops i fell and accidentally bought a PepsiGuyFawkes
    • I was tipsy at 1am going home from work and bought a shitty chicken meal thing, so chose a Pepsi. Awoke the next morning wondering why I had a can in my bag.Nairn
    • ..before remembering. It sat there for a week before I drank it. Fucking disgusting. I can't stand artificial sweeteners. I just want occasional treats.Nairn
    • wtf is this front page? ffsNairn
    • Fully agree. That shit is poison.monNom
    • Steviol is not artificial, it's from a plant. It just doesn't taste like cane sugar that's all.zarkonite
    • yahyah, I get that. but you know what I mean. Xylitol is wood sugar, same diff.

      it ain't fucking sucrose.      Nairn
    • Why are you attached to consuming sucrose over steviol? it's unnatural and harmful and it's artificially decanted from a plant.zarkonite
    • (and xylitol is a polyalcohol, it tastes sweet because of its molecular structure but is not a saccharide)zarkonite
    • because it's a catch-all term and it breaks down into glucose and fructose which are 'real' sugars which my mouth appreciates?Nairn
    • it doesn't taste like shit, is what I mean.Nairn
    • I'm 'attached' because i'm a human being and i naturally crave sugars, to one degree or another. Shit ain't rocket surgery, as much as you'd try to wish.Nairn
    • yes, sorry, mis-spoke about xylitol, it being an -ol not an -ose. Whatever.Nairn
    • hehe I thought you had some kind of health concern with sugar alternatives, and I was thinking WTF you're drinking coke who cares what's in there =)zarkonite
    • "health conscious coke drinkers" - I kid you not they have that as a consumer type. *eyeroll*zarkonite
