If you recently bought Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade, please note that Coca-Cola voluntarily recalled 13,152 cases because it was found that they contained full sugar. Check the label before you drink it, especially if you're watching your sugar intake for medical reasons.
I know the headline sounds funny, but remember that could kill a diabetic.
I feel bad for people’s whose stomachs get upset when drinking water, they have to turn to solutions like sugar-free drinks whether they like it or not.
As @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world astutely points out, it’s a big deal for a lot of people with dietary issues, diabetics being the most prominent.
No, water is really bad if you have unmedicated GERD. I am fairly certain that if I miss a day of meds, the swift intense heartburn is not psychosomatic. I don’t know why, but anything with carbonation is much less intense.
it is psychosomatic, but can still be debilitating. i knew a Navy veteran who could not drink straight water at all because while in the Navy, he had to drink several gallons of the stuff every day. as soon as he was discharged (honorably), he found he couldn’t have water without anything added to it simply because he had so much of it in the service. of course, he still has to drink water, so he carries around a bottle of flavoring
Straight water doesn’t make me sick, but unless I’m already pretty thirsty (working hard/exercising outside in summer) and it’s full of ice, I find drinking water unpleasant.
I’ll drink water when I have to, but I’ll drink flavored/calorie free drinks because I enjoy them, thus staying far more hydrated.
My favorite zero calorie drink is water.

I have a hard time believing someone can be sick from water but artificial sweetener in water doesn’t cause that. Has to be psychosomatic.

Several gallons of water a day would kill you.
