When the researchers conducted spatial learning and memory tests using the Barnes maze, the aspartame mice at four months consistently moved more slowly and covered less distance during training than animals in the control group. They also took nearly twice as long on average to locate the target escape hole, showing impaired memory recall (however, this was inconsistent and not seen as statistically meaningful). By eight months, performance gaps widened even further, with two out of six aspartame-treated mice failing to complete the task at all.
It makes you dumb, unfit and fat (around the organs).
Water is an option.
Water… Like from the toilet?
(obligatory /s)
Water tastes like shit
There is something genuinely wrong with your country’s water delivery system.
No, really, water tastes like shit after you eat your lunch. Can’t be comparable to take ANY soft drink after that. Facts.
Try not drinking from the toilet bowl.
Seriously though is there something wrong with your water supply?
Have you tried clean, distilled water? Water should be pretty much flavorless. You’re tasting what’s in the water.
This is the problem. It is not sweet.
Yeah, water loaded with fluoride, estrogens and heavy metals. I’ll stick to my diet coke
The diet coke that’s made by mixing the same water “loaded with fluoride, estrogens and heavy metals” with a syrup concentrate 😆
At least it makes it taste good. Brown sweet fluoride water is tastier than plain stinky fluoride water from the toilet.
I think part of your problem is that you’re drinking from the toilet.
Fluoride has no known negative effects on adults in the amounts found in most drinking water.
Heavy metals and estrogens (if your area is particularly polluted? You can usually find reports of exactly how clean your local water is) are easily filtered out with a cheap undersink carbon block filter (it will also remove chlorine, as a nice side-effect).
If fluoride has no negative effects then explain why I am so stupid?
Fluoride actually can potentially, maybe have a negative effect on cognition/IQ in infants or developing children, but the research claiming that is pretty sketch. Reactions did a solid video on it, if you’re interested.
Joking aside. I go to town meetings and without fail during public comment there is always at least one anti fluoride activist.
