In the universe of, let's call it, health sensationalism, I don't think spreading the message that, hey, diet soda might not be that good for you is that dangerous. I actually think it's probably going to hedge towards more beneficial. But again, at the end of the day, you do you.
And if a Diet Coke works for you and you want to flex that you have Diet Coke and you're super healthy and happy, guess what? I'm going to give you two thumbs up and say I'm happy for you, sincerely.

It's possible, and I guess all I'd say to that is I agree with you. I don't believe that actually happens, not at least at any scale. I've never heard of someone being like, I saw a single Instagram flip that said Diet Coke is bad, and now I'm drinking regular Coke. I just it seems so hyperbolic and implausible to me that I don't think it happens to the same extent.

Like when I do Oreo versus statin, I was pretty sure that no adult human being will be like, oh, good. Oreos are a health food. Let me get off my statin and just start binge eating Oreo cookies and nutter butters. I just don't think people give the general public enough credit for common sense.

I think people want, with their engagement, nuance and depth and are willing to chase the rabbit hole a little bit before making health decisions. That's my perspective. Broadly, I think people are frustrated because the self-proclaimed intellectuals and gatekeepers of health information tend to patronize and be like, this is what you should do. And here's the simplistic way to think about it.

And here are the rules and guidelines without delving into the nuances. I don't think that's very compelling, nor do I think it's productive towards building trust. So I think it is okay to be like a little bit fun, engaging, provided you draw people in to then have the nuanced discussion and say, well, here are the data. I'm going to show you the graphs from the paper.

I'm going to link you to other resources where you can have a set of links to the human randomized control trials and meta analyses and other studies and playlists where I delve into this topic. Go as deep as you want. Hear the data. Here's what I think about them. At the end of the day, you make your own decision.

I think that's a much more productive approach than just saying, we don't know that Diet Coke is bad. Therefore, you should have it. Because we haven't conclusively proven in the 30-year human randomized control trial that aspartame doesn't have a negative effect on the human heart. It's ridiculous. And I said this in a recent clip, the one I was responding to somebody did.
