Diet soda's artificial sweeteners don't get absorbed by your body. Instead they damage your gut bacteria, disrupting immune function and increasing inflammation. The speaker claims one can sets you back a day or two while your microbiome recovers.
Diet soda is worse? Ironically, it's worse. Come on, how so? What it does is that the non-nutritive sweeteners that don't get absorbed in your body as calories, sugar-free, go down and poison your gut microbiome. Come on. Now, a lot of people say, well, you know, the evidence isn't really there. I can tell you as a scientist following this field, the evidence is stacking up. You damage your ecosystem of your healthy bacteria, and that healthy bacteria commands our immune system, lowers inflammation, helps us heal from the inside out. and even controls how we feel our emotional wellness. So the bottom line is that either way you cut it, if you need to drink a soda, one can, and then realize that your body's gonna have to recover from that. It's gonna take a day or two until you get back on track.
