What are your thoughts on no added sugar cordial?

Contains:

Sucralose

Change your gut microbiome by lowering the number of good bacteria by half and increase body inflammation.

Acesulfame k

Cause weight gain and shifts in the gut microbiome, which could potentially lead to obesity and chronic inflammation

No real vitamin C

Only 6% of Black-currant Juice and the rest pure water & cheap somewhat addictive chemistry.

If it helps you drink more water then why not?

That list of explanations above is an absolute cr*ck of utter sh*t. One, literally ONE study done on mice and spoofer above is telling people that acesulfame leads to weight gain and potentially obesity. One of the conclusions of that study was that it potentially led to greater fluid retention - nobody is getting obese because they are retaining extra water. My god.

Look at the big picture, it's a drop of Ribena and not going to be the difference in you reaching your goals. If you have the main pillars of your diet are in place, then this can surely be accommodated. Especially if it results in you drinking more water throughout the day.
