How Much Diet Coke Is Too Much? Artifici...

BEN GREENFIELD
About this episode

In this solosode, I dive headfirst into some of the everyday indulgences you likely encounter and the science behind them. From the fizz of Diet Coke to the intriguing realm of artificial sweeteners, and from those irresistible ultra-processed foods to the complexities of alcohol—I’m here to break it all down for you. Together, we’ll explore the studies, separate fact from fiction, and map out a way to enjoy these vices without derailing your health journey. Remember, it’s not about perfection—it’s about making informed choices that lead to a boundless life.
