Seems like a pretty damn good price for a 24 pack of Bundaberg ginger beers. About $1.12 each with S&S which is very reasonable. Make sure to cancel that subscribe and save before they try to stitch you up with some outrageous price in 6 months.
CamelCamelCamel.
The diets are that price too
How's the diet compared to normal?
Typical 'diet' aftertaste, but others seem to like it.
We like the diet more than the regular. Less sugar and more ginger flavour.
@ShortyX: I'd stay away from "diet" drinks.
Sweeteners 955 = Sucralose. One of the worst things you can have.
Sweeteners 950 and 951 = Aspartame. Nasty and leads to all sorts of gut issues down the track and significantly increases diabetes T2 risk.
Cane sugar is also bad but far better than the artificial sweeteners.
Source: my partner is a research scientist at CSIRO and it is scary the things they have recorded.
@Suspect420: Your partner should be able to provide links to the published papers that back up your claims so you can share them. I'm not saying you're wrong or right, just that "I know someone who knows" isn't a great source.
@Suspect420: PS this is your source for saying NNS (artificsl sweeteners) are bad. (Tldr your source says the opposite)
The summary:
It is not clear that NNS consumption has an effect on the incidence of type 2 diabetes or on glycaemic control even though there is some evidence for the modification of the microbiome and for interaction with sweet taste receptors in the oral cavity and the intestines’ modification of secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), ghrelin and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), which may affect glycaemia following consumption of NNS. In conclusion, long-term studies of NNS consumption are required to draw a firm conclusion about the role of NNS consumption on glycaemic control.
Analsys of summary:
Consumption of NNS do not have an effect on type 2 diabetes, or your body's ability to regulate sugar levels. However, there is some evidence that consumption can alter your microbiome (every food does this) and taste buds (sugar does this too, it's basically increasing your tolerance for sweetness via exposure) (neither inherently detrimental but can be noted)). Additionally consumption may modify your intestines secretion of certain things (very sciency ik) which may affect sugar levels in blood (something that sugar does but in a way worse way because sugar WILL change your blood sugar levels).
In conclusion, long term studies are required to see if NNS has a role in affecting your bodies ability to control blood sugar levels.
(Which is a stupid thing to say as NNS were made and used since like the 80s and the study was published in 2019 so I assume they had some crap house short term sources or cbf making any actual conclusions)
@Suspect420: I doubt 1 or 2 drinks with artificial sweetener will do much, not that i disagree with you. The problem is sugar is everywhere and we consume a lot of and it’s super hard to avoid completely.
Also be aware that the sugar industry is worth billions and they will do anything to support research and articles that will make any alternative look worse than it really is
@Suspect420: Your partner should also know that a large amount of sugar is worse than low amounts of artificial sweeteners.
If you ate 1gram of sugar vs 1gram of sweetness then yes you would have a basis, however 1gram of sweerners would be so horrifically sweet it wouldn't be edible.
Overall drink water and stop paying big for sweet drinks
If you're addicted and want to be healthier, diet drinks (where the only different is sugar is swapped for an artificial sweetener) is a viable solution.
Cbf providing sources, research yourself and stop listening to randoms online (including me :p)
stop listening to randoms online (including me :p)
Very sensible recommendation, I'm going to listen to you from now on :-)
Disappointing tbh
About right, add alcohol and you're up for another $24 in tax.
Are these short dated like the Pepsi cans?
Link to the diet 24 pack? Thanks!
I dont know why this is - but i when i buy these from woolies, the caps are much easier to take off than the ones i buy from amazon (still tastes the same)
prolly just different batch
Big and strong from carrying them from shop to boot
Diet is no longer on special
$15.12 (s&s) for 12 if you wanted a different flavour.
