What's the alternative if you're trying to stay off sodas?

You've convinced me. I'll stick to alcohol.

I'm impressed, honestly. Never have I seen, "A study found that people gain weight by eating more to 'compensate' for the diet soda that they drank," stretched out to 13 minutes.

6:15 is when they actually say it

I like the fact the length of the video and the way they make it, reminds me of how i wrote my essays during high school.........now i understand the pain of my high school teachers.....

Well we know pepsi and coke wont be sponsoring this channel anytime soon

over 5 minutes in and still not to the f**king point

To be fair, "infographics" means "stretch this out past 10 minutes so I can make money" in Swahili

Helped me lose weight..... Diet soda has a ton of carbonation and makes me feel full faster without the added sugar / calories. I lost 20lbs alone just by switching to diet sodas

Bla bla bla. So you put so much efforts in this video just to say "Everything depends on your lifestyle"... Wow... what a turn...

This video does not need to be 13 minutes long

I have controlled my sugar intake , coffee with no sugar and 0 soft drink...went from 225 Lbs to 204 Lbs

5 minutes in and i stopped watching when they didnt get to the point.

I’m sorry, I usually love your videos but I zoned out like halfway because I forgot the point you were trying to make.

Honestly .... could you just spit it out ....these long winded videos might be great for ads but you've lost me

I'm a 300lb Dorito lover sitting on my couch, and I support this message

I can say as a diabetic that sugar free soft drinks aren't so bad. Besides tasting fairly decent(but not all of them, so it's a matter of trial and error there) they won't spike your blood sugar. And if you drink them in moderation, they won't do a bunch of horrible things to you. So moderation is the key here.

So much F I L L E R. Gotta hit that 10+ minute marker somehow I guess

GET TO THE POINT! Really there is so much side information without saying in a concrete way why it's actually bad for you. I almost don't watch these videos anymore because the actual answer to the title is almost unfindable.

The body releases Insulin anytime you eat anything 🙁

I have one word on aspertame: Lobbyists. I honestly believe these favorable articles regarding aspertame are nothing more than financially influenced. At this point in time, does anyone actually still believe government, the CDC, FDA or the media?

Gave up after 5 minutes of no point being made.

Video is too long-winded... unnecessarily so. Seems the writer was hyper on sugar when coming up with this vid.

That was sooooooooo stretched out with irrelevance, it was painful.

Every can of regular (non-diet/HFCS) soda has the same calories as a standard cheeseburger. It's more dangerous because as a liquid it goes done easier, more quickly and is less filling but you gain the same weight. Never drink your calories unless you are doing it as a dessert (like a milkshake or ice cream soda). If you drink regular soda, consider it a dessert. You can't gain weight from diet soda with zero calories.

Ill tell you how I feel about this video, but we'll get back to that later. Here is a bunch of random articles and interviews that might possibly contain information, maybe.

Overly drawn, dramatized and bordering on fear-mongering video that can be condensed in 2 minutes without any loss of meaning.

Bruh, I don’t need a history lesson. Just get to the point.

it’s sad how info graphics has slowly become like watch mojo and the craft channels, just short sweatshop videos with no really point or question answered

just drink lots of water... if you drink soda/light soda in low ammounts youll be fine... it will also be something special for the moment youll drink your favorite beverage.

"Why you should STOP Drinking Diet Soda Right Now!" *Proceeds to drink diet soda while watching this video*

Y’all cant stop me, I AM GOING TO KEEP ON DRINKING SPRITE ZERO!!

I drink diet soda for one reason. It helps me keep my daily calories at the deficit that i want. Therefore, i will continue to drink them.

Who only clicked, because they heard "diet" soda is bad for you.

Watching Video *Proceeds to drink Diet Soda*

When we are thirsty ,water tastes like heaven

Fun fact, as a type 1 Diabetic, I cant drink regular soda, so if i want a soda it has to be diet

12 minutes, 56 seconds, and no solid awnser to the proposed question/statement. These videos are hit and miss... And the misses are tallying up. Sometimes short and sweet is preferable to long and meandering.... Especially when said vid is concerning something as mundane as diet soft drinks!!

I’ve been drinking nothing but diet soda and water for the past 4 months and cut out fast food. Gone from 236 lbs down to 193.

i literally drank only diet soda for 7 straight years of my life and im fine. take that atheists

I love how they’re sponsored by coke😂 no joke just saw a coke ad

As a dude who loves his drinks, I can say, Coke Zero surely helped. I've lost around 40kgs since my diet that included switching to Coke Zero. Ofc it ain't the sole reason, as I do workouts and reduce the amounts of food intake, but those calories I save with the Coke is surely worth it, letting me enjoy more "heavy" foods without gaining weight. Oh, but I used to get shat on for drinking "Unhealthy diet sodas" a lot from ignorant people. I do agree with Infographics, and happy someone cleared it up. Diet soda doesn't mean you can eat a shitton of anything else.

I always hated diet drinks...they are nasty.... But I stopped drinking Soda over a month ago and I feel great. 96% of my drinking intake is water, the rest is just Tea and Juice . I love water

Hey, just imagine drinking a Diet Coke/Pepsi while watching this.

3:48 "me being a 14 year old in arkansas"

Basically, diet sodas are bad because if you’re already addicted to sugar, you’ll just look for sugar someplace else.

I'm actually drinking a diet soda while watching this.

I've been drinking 3 or more cans of diet soda per day for a while. Currently trying to give it up altogether since I've seen lots of research about it's negative effects. I am very healthy and in shape, but sometimes I think they contribute to my anxiety, rapid heartbeat, or confusion and inability to focus better. I am planning to start substituting with green tea, black coffee (not too much), seltzer, and lemon water.

Look it’s simple. It boils down to Calories in, calories out. Less calories in, more calories out=weight loss. More calories in, less calories out=weight gain. A diet drink does nothing to change that as it has zero calories.

"Sugar is demonized by a popular podcast" *cough* Joe Rogan *cough*

I’m literally drinking a delicious cold ice diet coke right now, literally

The real reason they say diet drinks are bad for you is because sugar and corn companies would lose lots of money if we switched. So they peddle lies on diet soda to keep making money. We’re listening to the same kinds of people that got bought out by cigarette companies to peddle how smoking wasn’t bad for you...

Can you get the point faster?

Calories in calories out. Diet drinks are mostly 0 calories. They are not bad for you, that is illogical. Insulin won't cause you to become hypoglycemic because glucagon will quickly counter it's effects.

The infographics show: Don't drink diet soda! Ad: Why don't you buy some Pepsi Zero?

I'm a 37 year old life long sugar addict and I've done a lot of research. On sugar The nutritionist ALL say stay away from aspartame (equal), sucralose (splenda) saccharin (sweet n low). Instead use stevia, xylitol or monk fruit, I recommend stevia the brand i like is Sweet Leaf. But I've been using those for years now and one thing I've learned that the video does talks about is the more sweets you eat or drink the more you crave, the next day. So my advice is to find away that works for you to eat/drink less sweet things in general on a daily bases one day at a time and go slowly lower, to as low as you can go and try to stay there. maybe give yourself one cheat day a week but dont go overboard. I hope this helps someone. Like if you agree or it helps you pls nd thx

Jokes on you, i have type 1 diabetes and my body does not produce insulin 😎

Why You Should STOP Wasting People's Time Right Now! The title and the video are not about the same subject.

I have to say, as a type 1 diabetic that doesn't eat almost any sweet food except for my diet Pepsi and coke zero, I appreciate that I can still enjoy a daily dose of something I lost out on when I decided to control my condition. But it's interesting to learn what's been learned about the brain and the metabolic systems, due to the use of of zero calorie sweeteners. I'd like to see an episode about sucralose lol. Or better yet, an episode about how most of the low calorie sweeteners are bulked with things like dextrose and other similar anti caking agents that are actually just concentrated carbs.

Tell everything you want, but making a video longer is hard, they also made a lot of research and effort to animate it. It's still better than other videos where half of it is about their sponsor.

I changed my eating and drinking habits about a year ago. Now I barely ever drink soda, diet drinks, or any sugared beverages. I mostly drink water and flavored seltzer waters (Schweppes). My life has drastically improved and I never feel deprived of anything since I now enjoy these vices in moderation--maybe once every week or two. If I crave something sweet I just eat a cup of pineapples. Satisfies me every time.

Jokes on you, I’m drinking regular soda😎

“The Obesity Society” what a great name

I have given up ALL the sweet stuff, only water and black coffee now.

The legend says that if you’re first *literally no one will care*

Infographic: stop drinking diet coke Me: cant argue with that

well everywhere i go there is always a shady guy selling coke

My Grandpa drank diet soda pop his entire life still tickin... My Uncle and Cousin both consumed regular soda pop their whole lives..Uncle died of diabetes 15 year ago, Cousin went into a diabetic coma and passed away 3 years ago.. My Uncle and Grandpa are only a couple years apart in age..my cousin was like 35 years younger than my grandpa

Did I see dorito product placement?

This is one of the weakest infographics shows I've seen. The writing is discounted and hyperbolic with little substance. Please keep your old writers!

Aspartame doesnt trigger an insulin response like sugar, therefore it wont make you gain weight, altough i have read that it can vary from person to person, a better alternative is stevia wich is natural sweetner derived from a plant

worked at a "popular fast food chain" as a teenager. not kidding when I say I had what I can only estimate was a 300lb woman order a 1/4 burger, 2 sides of fries, and a diet coke because she was "watching her weight" lol.

Was on keto diet for 6 months and drank nothing but diet soda, ended up losing 45 pounds. Diet soda is fantastic for Keto diets.

I dont drink as much soda as I used to, but occasionally when its available, I'm more of a tea person.

I don't know if aspartame is bad for you or not but I know that it upsets my stomach which is the main reason I stay away from it. Even a sugar free cough drop will have me in the bathroom for 20 minutes.

So just drink water and a little bit of Gatorade.

Get to the point man , seriously, you are making these elongated videos. Losing respect .

You need to swap the bodies of your animated joe rogan and David Sinclair 😂

Poor little rats. 😥 I can’t imagine how much poor little rats died in the name Diet sodas.

I'm a type 1 diabetic and did not choose to drink diet soda 😂 I've had it since I was 6 years old and diagnosed, and I still enjoy it every now and then. I really don't feel like drinking a regular soda and getting high blood sugars.

If you have the time, could you make a video about "What is diabetes, and how it affects your body"? Would be very informative! :) Also wanted to thank the show for making these videos!

I like the background music for this

It’s impossible to put on weight in a caloric deficit regardless of what artificial sweeteners do to your insulin. It’s just physics.

I drink diet Coke daily, started almost forty years ago. I'll be 85 this year and still going strong. Warren Buffet does the same.

Water is great. Don't over do anything. Balance is key.

Infographics: "diet soda doesn't help with weight-loss" *Greg Doucette enters chat*

I'm glad that they are making these videos. I very appreciated you. This is teaching me a lot of info and this might help one of my family members who has health problems. Thank you! Your videos have inspired me.

The real answer is to stop drinking ALL soda. I used to drink it all the time. When I stopped, I didn't even consider switching the diet alternatives. If you ever indulge in a particular high sugar delicacy and then get sick of it, consider it a blessing. I can't eat chips anymore for the same reason. To be honest, I feel liberated from it.

*I was drinking soda while watching...*

I drink more diet soda than I probably should, but I have a heathy BMI. It doesn't make me crave sugar. I watch what I eat. This means limit my carbs unless I plan to work out and cut down on on anything with added sugar. I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and eat as much protein as I can. Diet sodas keep the sugar cravings away for me.

Regular soda should never be consumed as a "beverage" or to quench thirst. It is a dessert and should be consumed as one. Same as if drinking a milkshake. Regular soda (soda fountains) were meant as a dessert once they learned how to put carbonated water on tap for sodas which was syrup and carbonated water (and often ice cream). So you are having a hi-calorie dessert everytime you consume non-diet soda.

I drank Diet sodas for over 20 years. I started getting sick from it, made me nauseous everyday and loss of energy. I stopped drinking diet sodas over a year ago and I got my full energy back and stopped getting sick/nauseous. Now I drink mainly water. Although I do drink a regular soda here n there - I have my full energy back!

Who is your animator? Why is he making all women in video this thick? 😍

Water, the angle that our body craves! Okay you sold me. Thats a better line than they had in Idiocracy

So...these soda companies have sold people a product falsely claiming and marketing it as "healthier and better for you" even though its not? Isn't that gross misconduct and false advertising?

We just should stop drinking soda.

As Bruce Lee said, *Be Water My Friend*

If you are trying to be healthier and you understand that artificial sugars are basically chemicals that never belong in your body, and so now you are confused, as to what should I drink. The simple answer is carbonated spring waters !!!

Lol coke zero was a weight loss savior for me. 😁 Went from 120 lbs to 100 lbs drinking a glass of coke zero once a day to stave off the sugar cravings.
