If you recently bought Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade, please note that Coca-Cola voluntarily recalled 13,152 cases because it was found that they contained full sugar. Check the label before you drink it, especially if you're watching your sugar intake for medical reasons.
I know the headline sounds funny, but remember that could kill a diabetic.
So after a little research the caloric intake might be more than 0. I feel like your original comment came across as suggesting that “0 calorie” drinks had just as many calories as sugar, which is obviously far from the truth. But this research is interesting and important, and there’s a good chance I read your first comment in bad faith. Thanks for sharing
That’s a hard to believe claim. Do you have a source for it?
ya I did a lit review for my thesis a few years back, plenty of papers on microbes metabolizing these compounds, shouldn’t be hard to find.
So no, you don’t have a source
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10144565/ Here’s a good start on “NNS”/non nutritional sweeteners.
Honestly its probably not a very big impact, its more of a “its possible” sort of thing.
Its a really interesting field!
