I've started drinking a large amount of aspartame pop. From the research I have done it seems like it has doesn't any (negative) health effects. I don't normally drink enough liquid and it encourages me to do that and I normally eat and drink too many sweet things and now I tend to just do this instead. I also encourages me to take my medication and it's really cheap and fun.
No desire to dispute the health claims, but regarding
really cheap
as far as I can tell, in most of the world diet soda is still much more expensive than water, tea, or coffee.
This is the public group instrumental rationality diary for the week of October 29th. It's a place to record and chat about it if you have done, or are actively doing, things like:
Or anything else interesting which you want to share, so that other people can think about it, and perhaps be inspired to take action themselves. Try to include enough details so that everyone can use each other's experiences to learn about what tends to work out, and what doesn't tend to work out.
Thanks to everyone who contributes!
