I went shoveling snow yesterday and got some itchy heat rash from sweating under my clothes. Took some Benadryl for it and it made my heart rate go to ~104 and scared the gently caress out of me, which just made it worse because I’m a hypochondriac. Good poo poo

I had to start scheduling blood work late in the day. I'd grab a handful of crackers or something between one of my four overnight bathroom trips and realize it after I got back in bed.

They're probably sweetened with something other than sugar, although savory beef broth gummies or something might be interesting.

stop eating fibre, eat more meat

Eat more meat = early onset arthritis (which is just inflammation), cholesterol issues

sugar free - kinda stupid to fill your body with chems just for sweet taste, your body still reacts to stuff like Splenda and winds up trying to create insulin for no good reason, still overworks your pancreas, if you're gonna use something use stevia or xylitol, stevia is natural and xylitol may help with bone density

too much diet coke and you'll wind up ossifying / super damaging your kidneys

don't ask me how i know

as far as turd issues go, either metamucil (I don't use caps as I like the taste) or sodium docusate tabs

lol you weirdo stevia and xylitol are chemicals too, natural does not mean good for you

but anyway they’re all fine.

and yes a lot of sugar alcohols make you poo poo liquid because you don’t digest them so they pass unmolested lower into your gi tract. they tend to be hygroscopic so they pull water into your large intestine or colon out of the surrounding tissue.

they tend to be fine in small amounts even for people who tend to be sensitive to those effects. maltitol is the worst of both worlds because it makes you poo poo and your body treats it partially like sugar anyway

sugar alcohols are so loving terrible and they've started using them in a lot of things now, maybe b/c they taste better than aspartame? idk

they’re used in small amounts in tons of foods because they can be texture, stability, and water activity modulators in your food product. most of the time they’re in small amounts, though, like they might be found in fruits and other natural products

it’s not so much that they’re a replacement for something like aspartame. aspartame is what’s known as a supersweetener. these are molecules that can be hundreds of times sweeter than sugar. others include the active compounds in stevia and monkfruit as well as sucralose. these are used in very small amounts, like milligrams per serving. way too little to anything except flavour.

the sugar alcohols on the other hand will be used on the order of grams per serving and replace many of the physical effects that are traditionally provided by sugar.

finally somebody gets what i'm saying

when ms jones and i were dating we tried some sugar free gummies. we expected the "gastrointestinal distress" thing to mean "if you are a glutton, you'll get a tummy ache". what we got was "if you eat a handful of these, your insides will try very hard to become your outsides."

that poo poo's full on poison IMO
