Artificial sweeteners is one of the reasons I'm not obese. You can quote me all the studies you want, diet coke is not a gateway drink to regular coke, and splenda on my black coffee doesn't make me crave a caramel macchiato.
I don't care about the calories. Artificial sweeteners taste like plastic cancer, so it's normal coke for me.
I'm kind on the same hill. I find that artificial sweetener leave a terrible taste in the mouth.
The worst is that some regular drinks are using sugar plus sweetener. I got this bad surprise now than once after taking the first sip.
@BastingChemina @random_character_a that's why I can never get behind 'Diet [insert_drink]'. They all leave a very chemical-like dissatisfying aftertaste and I don't get how people like them. Maybe it's because they are in a different part of the world and the ingredients might be the same?
