What do you think of the new real sugar Pepsi?

I only drink Coca-Cola so I've never tried the new sugar pepsi. Coke is better anyways.

Well, I don't know what you were drinking that could make you sick, but it definitely was not the aspartame.

It promotes your body to make fat cells and it slows your metabolism down. That will cause weight gain.

Again there's no solid science for that, aside from some internet scare mongering.

Except for the studies I linked to, which your link did literally nothing to disprove.

Just sayin, saying "Eh I am not completely sure" does not actually dispute research. Not to mention your link that tries to prove the other study wrong literally uses the example of "people dieting lose weight!" The point is whether the person is dieting but what the difference is between people drinking regular pop and people drinking diet pop at the same rate...

The Article says you gain weight by your bodies response mechansism being thrown off by tasting something sweet, but not getting the calories, casusing people to overeat.

Below From The Article

Yet, when people eat something that tastes sweet – but introduces no real sugar into the blood system – it may throw off the body’s response mechanism, Swithers noted.

“What happens when you have a sweetener is you get that sweet taste – but calories and sugar don’t show up,” Swithers said. “Your body says, ‘Wait, this isn't what I was expecting to happen,’ and over time you may not produce those same anticipatory responses.”

According to that you could gain weight, but its indirect the actual eating of the extra food is causing the weight gain. If you keep self control and monitor what you eat you wont gain weight.

Vanilla Coke is my favorite soda, so I would like to try Vanilla Pepsi as well.

200 calories and 40g of sugar yet the taste is night and day. Anyone who grew up during the days when soda was made with actual sugar knows HFCS in soda is not comparable. Are you old enough to remember Jolt Cola and "All the sugar and twice the caffeine" slogan?

Yep, I remember Jolt cola. They still sell it around here too.

Who says the real sugar moniker is meant to convey healthierness

I really don't like the shitty sweeteners they put in Coke these days. I used to buy boxes of canned Coke from Mexico that was made with real sugar and now they too went back to awful substitutes.

I might try this new Pepsi, though. Even if I don't like it I'm okay supporting real sugar in my drinks.

Promoting a soda with real, honest-to-goodness sugar is for nothing but taste and that's exactly why people would run to the club stores and buy cases of Mexican Coke or wait for those two or three months a year when Pepsi Throwback was produced. Sugar-Free is used to promote health. Many people aren't looking to cut calories when they drink soda because if they are (even with diet) they are better and tastier alternatives available.
