Diet soda = semen?

If diet soda is just water with zero calorie sweetener, why don’t we just drink semen?

That is a real statement I heard while on social media.

I don’t know what the fuck is going on anymore. I really can’t tell what’s a parody on social media. I get it, you post shit like this, it gets a ton of engagement but what is even happening…

No, I don’t think diet soda is on par with water, though it’s certainly fluid. I track all of my fluid intake – coffee, diet soda, water; but the GOAT of hydration is water. A frequent concern many people have is the aspartame in diet soda.

Aspartame is classified as a Group 2B carcinogen – but, to be clear: radio frequency, cell phones, aloe vera, and pickles are all considered Group 2B carcinogens. This simply means they are possibly carcinogenic especially in large doses. I’d have to drink like 20+ diet sodas in a sitting for it to be considered carcinogenic.

You should be drinking .66 x your body weight in water a day. Having said that, I personally really enjoy A&W zero sugar and diet Dr. Pepper. I do drink primarily water but honestly, I have 3-4 cans of diet soda a week. I enjoy it with a burger or chicken nuggets – it’s just one of the ways to make dieting more sustainable.

By the way, unlike diet soda, semen isn’t calorie-free.
