Dr. Layne Norton

So again, coming back to aspartame, diet soda, wrapping this all together,

Um, I view diet soda as you have to be careful, like people demonizing it because what they think will happen.

Okay.

Well, people will just drink water.

No, people just keep drinking soda.

And so why not give them this tool that appears to really be a pretty big lever for not much cost.

Usually aspartame.

Some have sucralose.

They have like asulfame K as well, like that sort of thing.

Or do you feel like one a day is... Well, now I'm going to get meta on you and say...

I don't believe anything for certain.

But I have data I bet my life on, bet my leg on, bet my foot on, bet my toe on.

Would you drink a Diet Coke a day?

Yeah, I drink Diet Coke.

I don't present it to my kids.

My kids drink water because that's what they ask for.

But I wouldn't feel worried about them having one diet soda a day.

I mean if we look at – take aspartame for example.

By the way, I'm sure that comment is going to get me in trouble.

We take aspartame for – nothing worse than parent shaming.
