minus-squareflames5123@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoIt only has 20 calories. I’m all for hating on Prime, but it’s not heavy in sugar at all. Definitely fake sugars. And heavy on caffeine.
minus-squareRevan343@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoOh, I didn’t realize it was mostly artificial sweeteners. I just remembered trying it, and finding it cloyingly sweet compared to gatorade
minus-squareLucidlethargy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-23 months agoThe thing about fake sugar is that it’s arguably worse for you than the real thing. Fake sugar should really only be prized by diabetics and dentists.

minus-squaretrashgirlfriend@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoIdk, doesn’t seem that damning to me considering that people who have more body fat might tend to consume more artificial sweetener and other such factors. Don’t have the time to look into the particular paper and other research right now though.
