I decided to reduce calories by drinking Diet Coke. After a while I would wake up feeling like the walking dead and with my luster for life gone but could not figure out why? I even started drinking 5 HTP which for me is humiliating.
I came across some material that says that Diet Coke might reduce serotonin in your brain. I found this study to support it but it seems only true for rats.
I have now stopped all my consumption of cola and the results have been dramatic. I feel 100% better.
I know that causality can be tricky so do you think I came to the right conclusion.
Well maybe if you had a double blind test to see if drinking cola had any effect, at this point
any further diet coke drinking will carry your bias.
But this is a good question because I’ve wondered many times how you could tell if a supplement
or something similar was working since you know its working and you know what the effect should be
so you are really loading the dice.
The last fizzy drink I had must was a good 10 - 12 years ago. Can’t stand it but whenever I see a Coke Zero can or ad I read it as Zero taste for some reason. But any “diet” drink will make you fat - only fat people drink Tab for instance.
Faerie, there you go my theory falls flat on its back.
But I still wonder why the coke manufacturers forgot to put the happiness in the bottles that I bought. I feel so much better now.
I only drink diet coke when it has rum in it makes me feel great ;D
You didn’t say how much you were drinking, I’m sure excessive intake of any carbonated, artificially sweetened and coloured drinks would have a negative effect in some way.
