Not that bad???????? Sure its a little high in sodium...But what the hell are you supposed to do when you don't have time to stay at home and make a meal. Your a real asshole, who doesn't have a life if you have time to prepare every meal at home. Gare

By the way I never said i was trying to "loose weight," I am trying to gain muscle and stay lean. If your going to comment about what someone writes, make sure know what the hell your talking about.

"Sweet taste: effect on cephalic phase insulin release in men."

Teff KL, Devine J, Engelman K

Monell Chemical Senses Center, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.

To determine whether sweet-tasting solutions are effective elicitors of cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR) in humans, two studies were conducted using nutritive and nonnutritive sweeteners as stimuli. Normal weight men sipped and spit four different solutions: water, aspartame, saccharin, and sucrose. A fifth condition involved a modified sham-feed with apple pie. The five stimuli were administered in counterbalanced order, each on a separate day. In study 1, subjects tasted the stimuli for 1 min (n = 15) and in study 2 (n = 16), they tasted the stimuli for 3 min. Arterialized venous blood was drawn to establish a baseline and then at 1 min poststimulus, followed by every 2 min for 15 min and then every 5 min for 15 min. In both study 1 and study 2, no significant increases in plasma insulin were observed after subjects tasted the sweetened solutions. In contrast, significant increases in plasma insulin occurred after the modified sham-feed with both the 1 min and 3 min exposure. These results suggest that nutritive and nonnutritive sweeteners in solution are not adequate stimuli for the elicitation of CPIR.

"Intense sweeteners, food intake, and the weight of a body of evidence."

Renwick AG

Clinical Pharmacology Group, University of Southampton, UK.

A review of published data shows that although intense sweeteners have been shown to increase hunger ratings in some studies in humans, this has not been a consistent and reproducible observation. Any slight effect on perceived hunger has not been translated into an increase in food ingestion or effects on blood concentrations of insulin or glucose. Studies on the covert substitution of caloric sweeteners by intense sweeteners have shown either a decrease or no change in body weight. The published database does not support the concept that the consumption of intense sweeteners results in a paradoxical increase in calorie intake and body weight.

Diet drinks in general have a good bit of sodium which could probably be deleterious for bodybuilders due to water retention. Finally, the fact that GOWSER is flaming anyone and calling them amateurs is fucking hilarious. The dumb bastard stated that antibiotics stop protein synthesis in humans and used Bill Philips as a reference. HAHAHAHAA!!!!
