I prefer he stay the fuck off to be honest. He got really addicted to it last time.
I hope he gets addicted again.
I don't see how it could have ever been a net negative for him. He needs to be on there, that's part of how he ever got his appeal in 2016.
It's just like Musk telling the EU to fuck their own face, publicly right here in the open. The brash comment gets attention and endears you to those people just wishing someone would come out and say what they are thinking.
I heard that one before Trump. it's kind of obvious why if you think about it. Soda itself has fallen out of favor with pretty much everyone who thinks about their health. People who drink soda are fat, diet or no. But I bet the diet soda drinkers are less fat. Cuz that also just makes sense.
You would lose that bet. Sucralose is poison and impairs the metabolism. Sugar is much better for you.
Placebos are effective until they aren't. Someone drinking Diet Coke thinks they have made a huge change to their diet, and will therefore undergo far less changes elsewhere while also drinking something that is only marginally less fattening in full healthy diets (something fat people rarely have to begin with).
I've seen chubby people drink diet soda, and less obese ones. People who kinda cared but not really that much. But anyone who is "thin" isn't going to be drinking a soda at all and staying thin. Short of the super metabolism guys, and they could drink soda by the gallon and be thin.
It's categorically wrong to claim that diet soda is "marginally" less fattening compared to full sugar soda.
We're talking about zero calories in diet vs at least 150 calories per serving for regular cola in liquid form with zero nutritional value.
But as your overall point covers, weight loss & diet soda isn't as simple as "less calories in product = healthier". There's obviously deleterious effects occurring with diet soda beyond the simple calorie reduction, either through yearning to replace the faked calories through hormone signaling to increase appetite or by some other more complex metabolic derangement (gut flora?) that causes the "zero calorie" swapping strategy to not work.
His stuff is funny as fuck to read.
To quote Elon Musk: "Go. Fuck. Yourself."
