It varies by sweetener and bottling plant.

Pretty sure it's aspartame that causes it.
I haven't really tried any of the newer artificial sweetners to rule them out because I don't drink enough soda for it to matter.

Undiagnosed PKU is less headache/nausea and more death/permanent severe brain damage as an infant. Essentially every baby in developed countries is screened for it shortly after birth.

I don't really think it requires your loving mom to call up and complain.

I shouldn't have to be even saying this.

I was at a McDonalds once and apparently they crossed the hoses in the fountain drinks for the Diet and Regular Coke. I had to listen to a woman complain in front of everyone for five minutes because they could have killed her diabetic husband. She was lording over these 16 year olds that she could sue but wasn’t... but she might!

Yeah, people take this very seriously because there are sometimes health reasons behind the madness.

Yeah, that's why I was confused. In principle I believe those could be symptoms of minor exposure as an adult, but how on earth would you get to that point without screening or exposure?

There are a handful of states which allow backwards dipshits to opt-out of NBS, so it’s technically possible. But rare.

I've been in the industry for 8 years now and I had a killer interview today and I'm leaving the kitchen to move into the purchasing department at another hotel. I'm so excited to have weekends off, a constant schedule, and not to be on my feet all day. I'm psyched to develop inventory systems, teach peeps about FIFO, and plan my life more than a week out. AAAAHHHH!

Sorry I can't contribute to phenylketoneuria chat, I'm just real happy to only cook for my friends from now on.

I believe this. LSD and food get pretty awesome. last time I tripped I decided to open the nicest bottle of red wine I had on hand (not sure if that was a $100 mistake or not), and spent like an hour sitting with the girl I was with us trying to describe all the flavors we were tasting and how they changed over time (and timemeee mann what even is time)

it was a silly fun time, and I never really realized LSD and food did weird things before

I find it kinda interesting that food science can make all manner of artificial flavors, but can't nail something as basic as "sweet" without it tasting like candied pennies and/or giving you the cancer. gently caress all artificial sweeteners.

My favorite food + LSD story has to be when my college buddy ordered a pizza over the phone at 1am while we were were all tripping balls. When asked what he wanted on it, he giggled "surprise me!" Pro-tip: never do this, unless you're dying to know how well pineapple and anchovies pair with bbq sauce and feta cheese and god knows what else. I took one bite, spat it out, and then was content to stare at pizza fractals.

Another difference is that diet coke has citric acid, and zero has sodium citrate.

According to coke, diet coke and coke zero have the same sweetener, but coke zero has some extra weird super sweet sweetener added in too.

So, work was interesting this week. I was closing up, still had all the doors and windows open because it was hot as poo poo this week. Meanwhile, down the street an armed robbery is happening. Police arrive and chase the guy on foot. He runs up the alley like ten feet from where I'm standing, takes a shot at the cops, and somehow escapes. They still haven't found the guy.

The challenges for industry have not risen from creating sweeteners, but from creating noncaloric sweeteners. I am unaware of any valid evidence that artificial sweeteners cause cancer. One of the biggest challenges industry has historically faced with noncaloric sweeteners is beliefs, particularly spread by industrial lobbies for ingredients in caloric sweeteners (corn and cane especially) that noncaloric sweeteners cause harm...like the idea that they cause cancer.
