Diet soda headaches Videos

+Derp Taderp Hahaha! It may just be because of how I was raised and watching my parents, but I've always taken one pink, one blue, and one yellow! I don't know if my taste buds truly know the difference from once to the next, but anytime I deviate from those proportions, everything feels wrong! ;D

+Tex Grebner Outdoors Hahahahaha! I went over to Harkon's castle, but I didn't even have to do any of the quests! I just drank a diet soda and BAM!

+Brandon Bond Thanks for the comment, Brandon!I have heard this line of reasoning before, and you may have a greater background in biochemistry than I do, but as long as one does not OVER-consume soda or UNDER-consume micronutrients in their diet, I don't see this being an issue, especially considering the fact that, to my knowledge at least, we get phosphoric acids from other sources, i.e. meat and dairy. And even if this slight down-regulation of the metabolism did occur, I don't think it would be very noticeable at all, and certainly not enough to combat a caloric deficit.In general, I don't encourage anyone to drink regular soda, as IMO that's one of the easiest ways to over-consume calories, but I do sometimes recommend diet soda to people as a means of keeping full and curbing appetite (though I am aware that, for others, it can increase hunger rather than decrease it). I think the reason diet sodas are so often connected with the condition of being overweight is that, typically, it's people who are overweight who are drinking diet soda haha! A diet soda won't help anything if you're not using it to maintain a caloric deficit, though! =D

+Muscle & MagickaScience is good when it is impartial and looks at all the available evidence.  But that is not what all science is in the service of these days.  Science these days is not pure, so the true scientific and reasoning mind must look behind the science to ascertain what forces are at work and what level of scumbaggery and deception are at work, and it appears Monsanto's aspartame had heavy scumbag backing from the start in the form of Donald Rumsfeld.  That name of a known liar and scumbag, should raise red flags. What good is meta analysis when they cherry pick which studies to include in the meta analysis?  Tumours that don't appear in the controls would seem to be a study that you should refer to if you have the public safety in mind rather than corporate profits.  CSPI talks about the meta analysis of aspartame and the studies they threw out here //www.cspinet.org/new/201312101.htmlBut then that is the sort of corporate scumbaggery that is in line with Monsanto's (and Rummy's) behaviour.  Just what one would expect. 

+anarchore You are decidedly less hostile than you were on my other video! I appreciate this! =) Well, apart from the jab at my content, but it was a good one. In regards to your post:No matter how supported or unsupported the claim, there will always be data out there to back it up. This is why it's so important to look at the meta-analysis based on ALL of the available research, which in this case, pretty clearly demonstrates that there is no causal relationship between aspartame and most, if not all, of the things it's demonized for. I respect your point of view, particularly because you have obviously done research in developing it, rather than just believing what you've heard on TV. And obviously, neither I nor science can actually prove that aspartame is completely harmless. I can, however, go about making my decisions based on the cumulative data.I don't think you're a troll, so I can only assume that the combativeness displayed in my video on volumization was the result of you feeling personally attacked (although that video had nothing to with aspartame and was way less sarcastic than this one). That wasn't the intention - while I do use (arguably too much) sarcasm, it's not aimed at anyone other than supplement companies and the media. I respect your deciding that aspartame is not worth the risk for you (and I even mentioned in this video that there are some groups of people that might want to make that decision).

+Alan Michael Thanks for joining the Quest for Muscle & Magicka, Alan - and don't forget to go into your skill tree and spend your points! =)

+Yvonne Urra-Bazain Thank you for that feedback, Yvonne - I really appreciate it!

+Shaolin Schlag That encouragement and support is truly appreciated, my friend! The Golden One actually gave me a shoutout on his Facebook page a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure my channel is yet glorious enough for a full shoutout from The Lion of the North ;)And I sure do mod Skyrim! I'll check those channels out, thanks for the recommendations!
