Sweetener found in Diet Coke will be declared as 'possibly carcinogenic to humans
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is set to classify aspartame, a widely used artificial sweetener, as a possible carcinogen. After years of conflicting research, the IARC is expected to make the declaration on July 14. Aspartame, which is 200 times sweeter than regular sugar, is commonly found in low-calorie food and beverages such as Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. Despite containing calories, it is used in smaller amounts due to its high sweetness. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this important classification.

you can trust any industry as much as any politician or any banker
As long as maximum profit is the motive, that will always remain true.
So with that logic, you shouldn’t trust anything this doctor is saying 😂
Keep to water - be safe
I read about aspartame toxicity back in the 1980s. I also heard that the person in the FDA who approved it, then went on to work for the people that made aspartame for a multi million dollar salary. 🤔
Donald Rumsfeld was CEO of the company that made Aspartame prior to being in Reagan's cabinet.
I read the papers too when I entered Medical School, and it was believed to be a carcinogenic since then. It was Rumsfeld who was CEO of the company that made aspartame, and the day after he got appointed by Reagan into his cabinet we heard it was approved. The FDA has a history of deep corruption for decades.

Well Done !!!!....beat me to it....
Like what they said in the “big short”, if you can’t beat them, join them.
@@scpatl4nowThat’s Right!
The couple of times I took a sip from a diet coke I was disgusted. It even tastes toxic.
My favorite soft drink is water. When you are thirsty, it tastes absolutely delicious.
Absolutely agree.
Now even water in the US isn’t safe.
Yep. Water is the most amazing drink ever. Nothing comes even close.
I remember back in 1981 or 1982 my dad's friend came over with a couple packets of aspartame. He worked on developing it and wanted us to try it. We were so amazed at how much like sugar it tasted. Back then we just assumed things were safe or they wouldn't put them in the market.
I quit aspartame based drink 2 years ago after brother of my buddy died from pancreatic cancer.
He drank 2l diet Pepsi everyday. This actually scared me out
My friend died from kidney cancer three years ago. He used to go through six to eight cans of diet Coke a day. That got me over my addiction to the stuff. Frightening.
Maybe he should drink 42. Because nobody will drink 21 cans a day. Only the ones that has minus 21 brain cell like you tho
I need to make some changes! Thanks for sharing! Im addicted to soda/pop. My parents even put it in my bottle as a child. Long term addiction. I’m only on diet now but clearly that’s not that much better
*"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now"*
Try find a drink that doesn't have these sweetness in the UK...same for yoghurts. My sister had suffered a really bad cough and a annoying need to keep clear her throat, which I know would drive her colleagues mad, she was like this for over 15 years, her saliva was thick . Since stopping have products with aspartame it just vanished. I really can't believe that for all these years of suffering so bad it was down to sweeteners .
Natural yogurt contains no sweetners. By the way its shocking how aspartame did that - glad your sister found a solution in cutting it out ❤
That sounds like LPR, silent reflex.
@@Ch215t1anxyz thank you, I hadn't heard of Lpr and had to look it up. I do think what we are eating drinking does cause a impact on health - the odd time she has had something with aspartame it starts - being type 1 diabetic from a child she has so much of it over the years.
They knew in the very beginning that the formula was hazard for humans consumption…
Perhaps, but without some proof, you are just guessing…
@@keng7758 There was plenty of proof .. just got buried ... MONEY MONEY MONEY ...
If it’s buried and nobody can see it, it’s not proof.
@@jonfairway8235Donald Rumsfeld. YES, that Donald Rumsfeld. He lobbied hard for Aspartame. Google it.
My friend used to drink between six to eight cans of diet, Coke a day. He’s was completely addicted to it. He passed away three years ago with cancer of the kidneys. I stopped drinking the stuff when he was first diagnosed, I was drinking three or four cans a day. It’s just not worth the risk.
As a child my mom would buy sugar free yogurt with nutrasweet(aspartame). I knew something was up then becase it tasted like flouride. I begged her not to buy it. But i was 7 so she only kinda listened 😑
2 words: Donald Rumsfeld. He was head of the company that made aspartame and pushed the FDA amd Congress to have it approved as a food additive.
I don’t know how that man can look into a mirror
@@pjesfWell, considering he passed away; I imagine that might now be a problem...
THIS.
You would have to drink 36 cans of Diet Coke every day for decades!
My mom has been saying this for 30 years and everyone called her crazy
Maybe she is.
@@woodspirit98 Maybe you are.
@@woodspirit98 maybe but it’s not because she realized the health risks of this artificial sweetener.
@@LasPhoenix777your mom is ahead of her time…that’s good
@@KaliKali-hv9bt accurate! She really was. In so many ways.
Great, I've been drinking this stuff for two decades.
I’d like to point out a few things. First, the direct action of releasing insulin is for the body to turn sugar in the blood into fat. Insulin is a hormone, and that is its primary purpose. So the result of gaining weight coming from behavior that causes the release insulin should be viewed as expected.
Second, I think at this point that we have more than enough scientific measurement about the problematic consequences of sugary drinks to at least advise that their consumption is definitively linked with negative health outcomes. Just the overall psychological dynamic of acquiring joy from eating/drinking sugar is behavioral activity that is adverse to health outcomes.
Thank you doctor as I was growing my mother would give me soda on my birthday parties. I remember hating the taste but because the other children would drink coca cola I would drink as well without liking it. Now that I am a mother I have never given any type of soda to my children. And glad that I did. Now that the children have grown up they are staying away from it ❤🇬🇷
Eat D!¢k with sugar on top and a side of diebetes, and french fries as a dessert
i probably drink a diet coke once a month. otherwise i drink water and home brewed tea with organic monkfruit extract.
If you have to have a coke once a month at least drink the regular one.
@@Axiomatic75 of course no
I wouldn't let my children drink aspartame
Who's crazy for avoiding artificial sweeteners for 30 years NOW???
Looking forward to the follow up on this video.
So let me guess Diet Coke will switch to Sucralose??? Ugh!! I just suppose it's time to quit drinking artificially sweetened drinks. It really should have been time when 12-packs were being sold for $8.99
Sucralose is claimed to disrupt DNA in humans now.
What doesn’t cause cancer these days :/
In California, everything causes cancer. It's advertised on almost all forms of matter in the state.
“Ate their regular diet” sounds like a good control of calorie intake. 🤯
Never drink diet coke or soda, even rarely to drink regular coke! As I eliminate or no consumption of sugars in my diet...Less oil and salt as well...!😅
Excellent!
I've been drinking cans of diet cola pretty much everyday since the 1990s. Not overweight.
There's a reason anecdotes aren't used.
How's your insulin level and A1C? Even thin people can become diabetic.
According to my continuous blood gucose meter adding milk to my coffee raises my blood glucose. After going up, my BG goes down. I have been taught that rising BG causes release of Insulin. I can only conclude that consuming milk causes insulin release. Drinks sweetened with stevia, erythritol, saccharine, or aspartame do not have this effect ON ME. ???? I will continue to test.
That's the reason they always recommend processed milk products like cheese etc for diabetes instead of milk.
They said the same thing about low fat sweets many years ago. The texture of the fat substitutes tricks your body into thinking it was full fat. I don’t know if this study has held up over the years. In the 80’s everyone went to low or non fat everything. Now everyone likes full “good” fat keto. 🙃
*Doctor can you do an episode on bacterial infection ?*
Thank you doctor 💊 🧑⚕️
This reminds me of cigarettes and yet folks still smoke
God Bless You
Thanks
monk fruit and stevia is where it's at.
They both have terrible aftertastes.
@@barryf5479 says you. Tastes fine to me.
I wish the cola companies would simply make a soda with LESS SUGAR. Is it really that difficult? Use real sugar but less. Ikea has an excellent fountain cola with less sugar and it's much more refreshing. Come on folks, it's not rocket science!
Less sugar with extra diabetes and obesity and a post of body positivity on TikTok👍
You can stopped in your sugary drinks?
Sugar is deadly too.
Aspartame actually makes my throat get a bit inflamed. I can drink an occasional Coke zero but if I have two my throat will bug me for days.
I also bought an artificial liquid sweetener thing for coffee once. I put two drops in my coffee and I swear it almost destroyed my throat.
I'm screwed, I've been drinking 4 a day for almost twenty years. lol
@dollysinn I'm so jealous. I love the taste of coke zero
Try stevia
Mike, what Mic are you using in the video?
I think it’s time for me to kick the diet soda habit. I didn’t know that people could gain weight drinking Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke.🙁
I've noticed obese people drinking diet drinks.
what about sucrolose?
What about Monk fruit used to sweeten?
Can you please talk about allulose as a sweetener?
More than 50 years ago, I heard that the original Coke was hazardous to humans too.
No it wasn’t. The original Coca Cola had all natural ingredients including coca leaves.
People in South America have used coca leaf for over 3000 years with nothing but good health.
It depends on height it's dropped from.
It's sure good for cleaning your car engine! LOL
CORPs vs The World Health Organization??? now I'd be scared of that
Water with fluoride?
We've KNOWN about this, for decades, literally!
You look so tire !! ❤-Stay well and safe
Can you explain how release of insulin without presence of glucose would continue to weight gain? What's the physiology of that?
I think because insulin makes you hungry
Dr. Hansen, you don't have to drink diet coke/pepsi, etc.
I drink water or hot water with few drops of lemon. I also drink coffee, tea, beer and wine. No artificial sweetener there.
Aspartame triggers bad migraines in me. I figured it out 25+ years ago and have completely avoided it since.
I used diet Coke after gastrointestinal problems, it's helpful.. stopped nausea, headache.
Doctor, you need a cloudlifter for that mic.
I wonder if Stevia is safe??🤔
This thinking is so backwards. Artificial sweeteners don’t have to cause cancer; those people who tend to consume diet soda in large quantities make enough other poor choices that complete the total cancer risk. People who tend to drink diet sodas often use them as a means to avoid calories. Many people think of diet soda as free or offsetting impact of other foods. Chances are, they are not making better choices in other parts of their lives…diet, exercise, self care, stress reduction, sleep. They’ll drink a diet soda while eating a double cheeseburger with large fries (fried in a processed seed oil) from a fast food place and think “I’ve just saved myself 100 calories.” They’ll do this five to seven days a week and expect no consequences.
These studies are focused on artificial sweetener consumption and the incidence of cancer among populations. They’re not considering the consumer mindset and the full context of life choices of those who tend to consume lots of diet soda. There are too many variables and no financial benefit to a manufacturer.
There are no shortcuts to health without consequences -whether it’s Wegovy, Ozempic, gastric sleeve or diet beverages. You have to change the way you think about beverages and food and make purposeful choices. If there is a big corporate interest in consuming a popular food or beverage that is manufactured, a person who wants better health should avoid these.
There are health benefits to many unprocessed foods that are bland and bitter. Yes, I eat Brussels sprouts and broccoli without drowning them in a sauce. Corporate America wants to sell them to you, but processed and packaged with a sauce that was created in a lab by a scientist solely for sensory stimulation-not for health.
Is Sucralose fine? I recently switched to a sucralose based low calorie sweetner.
There is research it was bad if heated over about 120°C (ie. okay in tea/coffee, but not cooking).
It does seem to spike insulin, so potentially has the same problem as aspartame? Worth studying.
@@erwark I only drink it with tea and that too very less but I'm thinking of switching to stevia as it's natural.
I get tons of aspartame in my nicotine lozenges… 😬🙄 It’s my only vice. Along with working too much, not having time for exercise or sleep, so the nicotine helped power me through the workday. Geez - can’t have any vices anymore. Sigh.
The weight loss is absolutely true. I was a Diet Dr Pepper addict. I gave it up completely and switched to water, nothing else. I lost 8 pounds without even trying. Best of all, I feel better than ever. Don't miss my addiction at all. There is nothing good to be gained from drinking soda, diet or not. All it does is harm the body. My personal opinion is that the stuff should be banned.
Here comes the "I only need water" "people". Just because u only drink water doesn't make you special. I say, good for you but if I want a can of diet coke you can go f off
Now you've triggered SJW's and Karen's. How dare you.
@@woodspirit98 lmao
Literally no one cares if you drink diet soda. Not a single person.
Hubby loves diet drinks and zero drinks I know I can't drink soda at all same with centric acid body dosent handle either very well
A 60 y/o attorney i worked for died from brain cancer, she kept CASES of diet coke under her desk....CASES, not 6packs, CASES. she otherwise appeared very healthy.
My father-in-law drank diet coke just like your boss- by the case.. I could never understand this addiction as I found the flavor discusting. His kidneys shut down but he went on dialysis and continued drinking his diet soda. He died from a heart attack during dialysis. It was all so..preventable
I mean, I can see loving chocolate too much! LOL😂 But diet drinks are nasty!😵
@@cathrinewhite7629 they've now found lead in chocolate. More in dark chocolate than milk chocolate. How many of us will give up our chocolate?
@@meripederson8379 nobody lol!😋
A woman died from water toxicity during a radio show contest. Thousands drown in water every year. Should we ban water? Drinking cases of anything can be bad. The key is moderation.
@@litesp the weird thing is, people seem to get addicted to sweet, energizing, fizzy drinks.
Do they drink grapefruit juice by the case? Or even O.J.? How about milk? Is there a huge % of the population who forego almost all their water needs, for milk?
Soda, esp. Colas & Mtn. Dew types have that perfect mix of sweet, fizz & caffeine._ It just seems to hit the addiction button more than any other non-alcoholic beverage.🤔
And no, we are babysat by the gov't far too much already. This is not a prohibition issue, but rather an education and behavioral issue.🙏🏼
Yeah 0:05
That is why calories in and calories out is a myth. The link - causation or correlation? Anyway, i don't think sugar anymore.
It's all correlative rather than causal as usual. The dose makes the poison as usual. Huge quantities of many things can cause disease/illness. I really hate these poorly done studies with low confidence conclusions.
True, but I'd rather have some of the data instead of being kept completely in the dark. It's up to each one of us to decide what to do with what we have.
Why anybody in their right mind drinks any form of soft drinks, sugar free or otherwise, is beyond my comprehension.
Well that might be beyond you but I love my diet soda and I have been drinking diet sodas since it’s birth. Key phrase “might, may, could, possible” UGG! You drink your alcohol, smoke your cigars, cigarettes, eat your vegan food and I won’t worry about it, so don’t worry about mine. And I’m not fat or ever had cancer and if I ever do, don’t worry about! Comprehend that!….
@@dukediesel "vegan food." You mean like fruits and vegetables? Also, who said anyone was worried about you? Why are you even here on this video if you don't care? These videos are aimed at people who would like to further their knowledge about our health, not at people that are content in their unhealthy habits.
@@dukediesel I don’t drink or smoke. I eat healthy because I respect my body and the planet. I walk or hike 5-6 miles per day. I won’t be worrying about you, trust me on that!😂. But just remember to not call an ambulance when you need one. I’m paying extra on my insurance premiums to support you and your unhealthy ilk!
@@billweir1745 Who said anything about not caring? it is an answer for everyone who drinks diet soda, not just me, duh! I can’t comprehend why anyone would want to smoke, drink alcohol, eat a vegan diet, when all these have BEEN FACTUALLY PROVEN to harm one’s health. If you make a comment lecturing others, be prepared for a rebuttal. And that includes the video itself.
@@dukediesel There is nothing harmful about a vegan diet if done correctly. It's significantly better than the regular American diet. Thinking that being vegan is bad for your health is extremely ignorant.
Well, I guess that's what's going to kill me, then.
WHO .... they knew about this a very long time
I’ve switched over to unsweetened iced tea, partly based upon your reports. I don’t care if my drinks taste _sweet_ ; I just want them to taste _something_ !
Sometimes I drink limeade very-lightly sweetened (i.e., still pretty sour) with sucralose. By that I mean actual, pure sucralose, not Splenda, which is 95% sugar and has the same number of calories as sugar - no kidding; look up the ingredient list!
All the reports I’ve seen pretty much agree with what you’re saying here: “just don’t overdo the aspartame.” 3-4 cans a day, no cancer risk, but a dozen or more per day, you’re pushing you luck a bit.
What if the Diet Soda was consumed with a meal ? Would it still cause weight gain ?
Of course it does. A lot of people will drink a diet soda to enjoy a fast food double beef cheeseburger and large fries cooked in processed seed oil. I used to do that all the time. “Oh, I’m saving 120 calories.” I was a fool…like millions of Americans.
@@murrayburke7746 I think sprats was referring to the pancreas being tricked into preparing to process glucose by the sweet sensation in the brain. If there is food too, the reaction wouldn't be a trick to the pancreas. I had the same question.
@@toughbutsweet1 the study didn’t have an experiment vs control for the identical meals with and without diet soda. My curiosity is satisfied with the results of overall weight gain by diet soda drinkers because it aligns with what other studies have found.
Maybe?
Coconut oil is on the same list
I'll trade one huge rootbeer float with cane sugar once a year, over daily cases of diet soda.😂
❤❤❤🇰🇷
between regular coke and diet coke, alway gotten a headache after drinking diet coke
I so glad I never drank any kinds of pop or anything just OJ in the morning and a little glass that is
Not supposed to drink OJ or any fruit drinks if diabetic. In fact shouldn't eat apples or mangoes or bananas to name a few. Even some vegetables. Spinach and beets are very bad for kidneys also.
WHO IS NOT BELIEVABLE
The claim that aspartame is an excitotoxin to the brain similar to MSG was enough for me to stay away from it. Cancer is just another thing to potentially add, bit the brain activity is what has me weirded out.
Yeah just declared
“Bad” and “good” shouldn’t be used by a medical doctor when talking about foods you consume.
They give me heart palpitations
Never like the taste of sugar-free anything. Also did not like low fat milk, prefer whole milk! 🥛
Thanks, Dr Mike. Having a hard time getting off Splenda.
Sucrose is pretty safe.
Hasnt that been known for DECADES?
And lets remember the detail that insulin may be involved in nearly 100 different actions in the human body..
How does the WHO their analisys? I supose that they hire some national labs, as they don”t own any kind of infrastructure, as many other international organizations, including UN, NATO, EU.
They start with spelling lessons.
Still gonna drink it idc
At work there was a fridge of drinks for customers to drink: diet coke, coke zero, diet sprite etc. I would a couple a day as they are cold and there and free. I found after a few days i woild get headaches and depression. Cut them out the depression and headaches go. I put it down to the artificial flavorings as i can drink regular coca cola from a glass bottle that is just cane sugar ok. Its so sad that people drink these thinking its better for their health
I get headaches from aspartame too, so I've been avoiding it for years. I found sucralose didn't give me the same headache. But I don't have either now.
I have never been a fan of sodas, never buy them. And I raised my daughters the same way. Only when I eat out once in a blue moon is the only time. Always drink lemon water with ginger. Wish people would not be so rebellious, and would understand how important this information is for health Dr. Mike. So then there’s no regrets, and drive God crazy TOO. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🙏🏼
😊 why do people always believe tht drinking coke and other preservative juices tht hve been placed on shelves ..it is sooo bad ,i dnt know what we gonna do to get them to dtop
just plain water please ...our blood ..our body doesn't need any of that stimulant types of drink or food.
I just home stevia is okay lo;
Nobody believed me when I said diet drinks are bad for you. If you’re gonna enjoy something. Do it in moderation and have the real thing! 😃
Why would they not believe you?
I don’t trust the FDA or NIH.
Rats got tumors after 10 years! Thanks Rumsfeld.
It would kind of make sense that pancreas can actually be burned out leading to insulin resistance? Then BINGO Type 2 diabetes? I’ve seen many cases that seem to bear this out.
Why are they saying "Possible"? They're experts, right? Either it is, or it isn't!🤦🏾♂️
Gives governments an excuse to tax them.
That's not how it works.
