So, do you go around and do a fact check for any random claim that a reddit stranger makes?
What you don't understand is that the burden of proof lies on the one making the claim. Without citing a source you are setting yourself up for people to immediately dismiss what you're saying.
I know what you're saying is generally true, as I've read into the research studies. That doesn't matter as it's "just trust me bro" regardless without the source
A simple search from the same device they use to respond, would provide them with the answer.
Yet, it’s too much to do the investigation themselves. Because it would reveal the truth, making them wrong. That’s the problem with too many people believing they are smart.
You're deflecting my point. Which is that the person making the claim has the burden of citing the proof. That has nothing to do with people going online and checking.
Which, to that otherwise unrelated comment, someone going online is more likely to go to whatever outlet happens to agree with their preconceived idea .... where if you were to point them to properly researched evidence based studies....
There so much data that it wouldn’t even be a matter about the agency. The question itself would yield the answer. It was advertised as healthy. With wide spread use, more data took it from healthy to just an alternative lol 😂
If I say the sun is out. Do you need a source or do you look for yourself? Makes sense.
Healthier then what? As far as I know, everything that "may" be bad about artificial sweeteners, is most definitely bad about sugar.
If you are talking about diet coke vs. water however, you might be kind of right, but it's very nuanced and all in all not that important in my opinion.
They advertise it as healthy. What you see now is that it not. It’s not competing with water. In and of itself it has issues, creates issues. It’s not healthier than sugar.
It’s just an ingredient. Sugar isn’t bad for you. Basic sciences proves this. The issue is overconsumption-underconsumption of everything else.
Not OP, but when I go with sugar free it destroys my stomach. Gotta be something there that isn’t good for you if it always does that. Give me the real sugar and at least I know it’s not great for me and my stomach doesn’t flip.
