This is a stupid fkn statement. Although it may be true it provides no value. Why don’t you try eating a small amount of shit everyday and see how you feel
@@Great_PatBingsoowell its not completely fine let's clear that up its incredibly addicive for one but other than that you are right that there was a racist study done to essentially be biased against Asian American ( mostly Chinese if I can remember correctly) restaurant owners who were using it in the food for sale. Why was that racist? To dumb it down by convincing the average white American that food from immigrants is dangerous and evil you take away the ability for them(immigrant restaurant owners) to be successful and make ends meet for their families ultimately destroying them 😢. I could go on another long rant about how the cold War ties into that but I won't . I hope youtube doesn't take this comment down they have a ""bad habit"" of getting rid of opinions they and the American government doesn't agree with. I probably got some facts wrong but it's intresting so I might do more research on it.
Both my parents were diabetics. My brother is diabetic. I am not diabetic. I give a lot of credit to diet drinks. I do not drink calories. Many people demonize diet drinks...but I still think it is better than sugar. I would prob be diabetic if not for sugar substitutes. I am glad I have choices.
Also, the thing is that artificial sweeteners are even in the sugar version, so people who say that zero drinks are worse because of the sweeteners are braindead.
Check its effects on gut bacteria flora. It kills good bacteria. And once your gut is screwed, it wont be able to absorb nutrition. Then eating all nutritional food will be pointless.
“…since the 1960s?” He’s probably thinking of saccharin. I remember it replacing cyclamates as an alternative sweetener around the late 60s-early 70s. I recall Aspartame becoming widely available in the early-mid 90s?

There is no identifiable change in human studies to the gut microbiome. All of this data comes from rodent studies and we know aspartame in high quantities causes issues with rodents specifically and we don't see the same effects in humans. We have literally thousands of studies over 50+ years on aspartame and we don't observe any of these negative effects in humans, especially with moderate aspartame consumption. Also, the dosages they give to these rodents are like if you were to consume a thousand cans of diet soda a day, it's hardly representative of normal consumption of a human.
@@tommydinob the only study that actually showed an adverse effect was done on rats and they were consuming the equivalent of 12 diet sodas daily in artificial sweetener content. So basically, like most things in life, if done in moderation, its totally fine.
You can look into it there’s a couple main papers that have researched it. It seems like there is a minor change early in, and it balances out after a few days
Is there independent studies who checked health status of artificial sweetener users over a long period of time? Or did just the producer of aspartame pump out data about how great it is?
I bet no one is doing studies to find out how bad these artificial sweetener really are. I know people that can't stop drinking that crap and now they are having problems with dementia.
It's a double-edged sword. It works as a temporary satiating effect for your appetite for sugar, but long term it may make you want to consume more sweet things. I think the trade-off is worth it in many cases, especially if the alternative is consuming the full sugar version. It's just something to be cognizant of when you're using artificial sweeteners.

I used to experience facial swelling from consuming NutraSweet, also known as Aspartame, as well as all other artificial sweeteners. In contrast, a friend of mine faces severe anaphylactic reactions when exposed to these substances.
I have dizzy spells if I eat or drink anything with aspartame. I work in a hospital and people complain of dizzy spells and no one can figure out why...uh maybe it's the aspartame and there is no way for a Dr to test that.
"Toxicity" is one thing. But what about all the downstream affects? Like tricking your cells into thibking theyre getting sugar? What do the studies say about stuff like that?
I drank aspertame sweeneted juice as a kid and had no issues in the beginning...until a couple years later where one day I suddenly felt pain in my lymphs inside my throat while drinking my aspertame product. I used the same brand in all those years and never took excessive amounts. At most about 2 - 2.5 liters an entire day(which only happened occasionally and usually In weekends as soda substitute). Mixed in a 5:1 ratio with regular tap water. Never had any health issues otherwise, so my experience is aspertame is certainly not "innocent" if your an healthy individual. At very small quantities, perhaps it's "less unhealthy"...but definitely not a zero risk sweetener! I accidentally bought a aspertame sweeneted drink recently(after a break of many years) and got a reaction again. So my immune system definitely was affected by drinking aspertame in childhood....sadly! 😕
@yourDoom8 I tried several times before giving it up(as it was my go to, favorite sweetened drink) . But after the first reaction, I got the same response everytime I tried drinking it afterwards. Even 20 years later! So, I am not guessing....I KNOW I react to aspertame! And I was way too young to know anything about risks drinking sweeteners(this wasn't public knowledge at the time), so it wasn't my imagination or placebo or whatever else, the aspertame "defenders" tries to use as excuses! 😉 And yes, I heard the argument on UA-cam "but it's only a innocent amino acid and is the most studied food additive etc etc...". The reality is, it fucks with my immune system and makes me feel ill....I don't need to find any literature that tries to defend aspertame, as my reaction to it, is more than enough proof to me! 😉
@@iiyyxxnn Your probably right! And then the question begs....should a compound that triggers an allergic reaction in the immune system, be considered "healthy"? 🤔 "Perfume" is another compound that has got a bad rep, for triggering allergies over time. So, health oriented skin care products usually advertise either no perfume or "mild" natural perfume. However, people don't eat perfume...so I am all for, spreading the word of being cautious ingesting too much synthetic sweeteners! 😉
Saccharine has been in use much longer than aspartame, which was approved in the 70s. Also worth mentioning is that artificial sweeteners cause a release of insulin.
Aspartame and the like have to reek havoc on the gut microbiom, but Peter doesn't really place much emphasis on that aspect of health from what I've seen in interviews.
It's absolutely criminal when you can't find any soft drinks without artificial sweeteners. Our governments endanger our health. In the UK, there is a sugar tax on sugared soft drinks, but not artificially sweetened ones!
I'm lucky (I guess). High fructose corn syrup makes me feel like vomiting, and aspartame burns my mouth. Stevia is natural, but so sickly sweet it's hardly worth using. So I stick to the sweetness of carrots, beets -- even fresh cooked cabbage tastes sweet. A date makes me need a nap.
I drink almost only water, not carbonated drinks. In my opinion, replacing sugar with artificial is okay but people will still get addicted to it and cope: "It is artificial sugar, not real sugar." They still got most of the disadvantages that normal sugar gives and still spending lots of money since they still are addicted to sugar.
It’s been around since the 60’s. And … it has more data on it from a safety perspective than any other molecule by the FDA … but we do not know if it’s bad for you after x-amount is consumed. Ummm…. What?

I've heard they harm your microbiome. It makes sense since they are obviously 'micro', and what is safe for say, a mouse, is going to be much less then is safe for a human, so imagine the amount that is safe for a micro organism!
"I've heard they harm your microbiome" Here's how completely made-up claims get spread precipitously. You "heard" something, did you bother to check the actual studies on this topic before you started riffing on the potential physiological impacts of artificial sweeteners? Do you know where this claim even comes from? Do you know anything about the mechanisms of the absorption of artificial sweeteners or their impact on the gut at all? How are you making claims about "safe" dosages for humans and based on what?
Here's what I got, I drink coke zero, and use Stevia, so far I'm good, not just that I do not have cravings for sweets at all, maybe once in 3 or 4 months? Is that even craving, I'd say if you are on the fence, switch to Stevia, sugar is waaaayy worse
The problem with safety profiles is... they are not reliable. It is almost impossible to detect causality through epidemiological studies. Too many influencing factors, too many variables, too many different outcomes on different people and so on. But we have so many health issues where they have no clue where they are coming from. Allergies for example. More than half of the people in the age of 18-34 yo have at least one chronic condition. More than every 5th of them has more than one condition. And all that is rising through the roof the more we move away from natural food and lifestyle. So you can talk about YOUR data as much as you want. The bigger picture tells us: Eat real food. F* sweeteners.
Everyone says this, what they don't mention is all of this data comes from rodent studies (we know aspartame causes issues in rodents in high quantities, we don't observe the same thing in humans), and all they did was notice a change. They don't know whether the change is positive or negative because gut microbiomes are too complicated to indicate one way or the other. Your gut microbiome changes all the time based on what you consume, there's no reason to assume any change is bad, if this even happens in humans at all with moderate consumption of aspartame, which we can't prove at all.

I don't get why people think "artificial" automatically means "bad" Some of the most toxic substances on the planet are "natural" The artifical vs natural dichotomy just seems a very smart marketing gimmick🤷🏼♂️
Aspartame was discovered in 1965 by James M. Schlatter, a chemist working for G.D. Searle & Company. That company is a subsidiary of Pfizer. This is why he speaks favorably about it. As a doctor he's a pharma rep. Consider in 1980 its FDA approval was revoked for concerns it caused brain cancer. Later it was said to be safe and approved again, despite studies in rats linked to cancer left many unanswered ?'s. Hmm, would Pfizer ever release products for profit over safety?
For being an Evidence Based guy Peter you came far away from the evidence here. You need massive amounts of aspartame to reach toxicity and diet drinks are associated with weight loss so I’m not sure the sugar cravings had any validity.
The toxicity of any molecule is defined by the doses, not the molecule itself. Overdosing oxygen and water can be toxic, too.

Peter also praises vaccines in his book. I lost a lot of respect for his opinion when I read it. His take on aspartame brings him down another notch.
Vaccines good. Get off the pipe.
Aspartame was discovered in 1965 by James M. Schlatter, a chemist working for G.D. Searle & Company.
That company is a subsidiary of Pfizer.
This is why he speaks favorably about it. As a doctor he's a pharma rep.
Consider in 1980 its FDA approval was revoked for concerns it caused brain cancer.
Later it was said to be safe and approved again, despite studies in rats linked to cancer left many unanswered ?'s.
Hmm, would Pfizer ever release products for profit over safety?
Yeah vaccines suck cause polio is such a joy amirite?
False. Micro biome.
Donald Trump drinks ten diet cokes a day and look what happened to him. Be very careful. LOL
Aspartame is toxic
Ooh my gush, we know that they are highly acidic, that their Ph is extremely low … and that they contain carcinogens and other junk 😩
Harm gut biome.
Yes it us not healthy
Why choose artificial sweeteners when you have natural sweeteners.
What a smart choice.
That and the gut biome disruption…but a little probably wont kill you
I’m starting to think Attia has sold us out. He is spewing out BS like this much more often. What a shame.
here's a dead give away to stay away - it's "ARTIFICIAL"!!! if man made it, don't eat it!!! come on Doc!
L take. Man made plenty of things that keep your sorry ass alive every day
This dude is a sharlaton lol
The FDA, oh ok. 🫤
THIS IS TOTAL SELLOUT CHANNEL
For being an Evidence Based guy Peter you came far away from the evidence here. You need massive amounts of aspartame to reach toxicity and diet drinks are associated with weight loss so I’m not sure the sugar cravings had any validity.
Is it good for you??? PROBABLY NOT ☠️☠️☠️🥱
