No diet Pepsi. Just the high sugar version! Do people still drink sugar versions?

Diet Coke is fine - & no calories = no diabetes

Max = maximum caffeine. Not good.
Also, it does not appear on offer at Iceland

Good deal, Heat

Pepsi max stands for maximum taste, it has no sugar or caffeine in it. Source - A can right in front of me

stocked up today, Great buy

Hard hitting debate here.

These crates are £5.99 in farmfoods, they also have an offer on 3 for £15 if this helps anyone

Offer ends 16th October

I don't think any doctor would advise to avoid the diet versions and drink the full sugar ones, they'd probably say consume both in moderation. :laughing:

If they had to choose, I would think most would suggest the sugar free versions.

Yes it is on offer, I bought a slab this afternoon. Diet has nothing to do with caffeine. It's about having as few calories as possible.

Diet doesn't equal health food (or drink). Often quite the opposite.


Yes it does have caffeine in it. Source, I too have a can in front of me and it's the 7th in ingredient.

Yeah because drinking a can a day is sure to give me Diabetes :confused: and you drinking diet means you won't get it :confused:

The invisible caffeine below lol

Ingredients:
Carbonated Water, Colour (Caramel E150d), Sweeteners (Aspartame, Acesulfame K), Acids (Phosphoric Acid, Citric Acid), Flavourings (including Caffeine), Preservative (Potassium Sorbate)

As someone whose partner is a doctor I can assure you 'many doctors' wouldn't be advising people to drink sugary soft drinks regardless of quantities. Yes we do need a balance of sugars in our diets, but it's far better to consume sugars with fibre (I.e. by eating fruit) as this better regulates the absorption of sugar by the body.

We all digress. irrespective of the taste, this is a great offer if you are looking to buy cans of Pepsi.

Diet or not it's still **** you are drinking.

Are you overweight/ obese & take little exercise? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07yklv8/panorama-diabetes-the-hidden-killer

35g sugar in every can

I don't care what any programme or report may say about sugary drinks,I will carry on drinking my one can a day of full sugar Pepsi as I don't drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes or take drugs, so I'll take my chances. :smile:

35g of sugar & some flavoured water/ day won't in itself kill you, of course

being overweight/ obese & not taking exercise will

I went on a low sugar diet so going from 1 can of full sugar Dr Pepper a day to a Pepsi Max is a good thing in my opinion. Heat from me (and no dietary advice or insults!).

I still fit in my size 10 clothes so I'm not bothered about depriving myself at my age,I'll probably get knocked down by a bus knowing my luck :smirk:

Probably cos they are aiming not to weigh 20 stone and prefer the taste. Mind you if the can you drank from tastes of crap, Its probably worthwhile checking the lid. Damned kids with their pranks eh!

nice deal.

For what it's worth I much prefer regular pepsi to diet or max

From what I've read the sweeteners in diet make your body crave sugar even more, and tests have shown people who drink diet are much more likely to get diabetes.

Wooh, and i get 10% off beacuse the bird works there.

It is about 20% cheaper to buy it in the 3Litre bottles if all you want is savings

Artificial sweetners are worse for you than drinking natural sugar.

Your not going to get diabetes without drinking a stupid amount reguarly

when did this site become a medical one who cares
good deal which this site is

good deal but does it include pepsi max cherry
that is a nice drink mixed with JD :smiley:

Caffeine free Diet Pepsi is available at the standard price of £1 for 2l (e.g. in Asda).

Has anyone died from cancer by moderate aspartame? Quote the scientific studies published in reputable journals and explain why the FDA approve it. The sugar in Pepsi is not a moderate quantity.

http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/aspartame

Rumours claiming that aspartame causes a number of health problems, including cancer, have been around for many years. Many of these continue to circulate on the Internet.

<3 Pepsi Max when there is no Coca Cola.

Amazing the debates that start here sometimes. Let me simplify this for all the dietary experts:
Do you drink Pepsi?
Is it a good deal?

The problem is more about the fact that people often overlook drinks when considering their overall daily intake of sugars. This results in people meeting/exceeding their daily sugar intakes from their food intake and in some cases doubling it with their soft drink consumption. These drinks are the very definition of empty calories and are contributing greatly to problems involving obesity in the U.K. (And even more so in the USA).

farmfoods do 3 cases for £15 and on any Pepsi Pepsi max vimto and tango

And its synthetic, artificial sweetner

I can't take people seriously who 'only drink full fat because they don't want chemicals'. Do you think we harvest fizzy drinks from fields? All versions are full of chemicals and artificial junk.

Will be getting some cherry pepsi max to go with my spiced rum.

you ask if people still drink the sugar version as if the no suger variants are completelty safe and problem free,who gave you that much confidence?
for your info there are ALOT of concerns about artificial sweetners casung cancer,just google it.now tell me which one is worse? cancer or diabetes?
also who told you drinking suger version leads to diabetes?
drinking 1-2 cans of real sugar version is much safer than drinking diet version filled with chemicals that tricks your brain into thinking they are sweet.also the real suger ones don't taste like metallic crap like diet coke and diet pepsi.

I would not choose any version Pepsi or Coke.

read your own link properly :

"Two studies published by a group of Italian researchers suggested that very high doses of aspartame might increase the risk of some blood-related cancers (leukemias and lymphomas) in rats."

"[[i]b]Most[/b][/i] studies in people have not found that aspartame use is linked to an increased risk of cancer."
most not all,so there are studies that shows aspartame is linked to cancer.

"A recent study of more than 125,000 people found a link between consumption of aspartame sweetened soda and the risk of leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma in men, but not in women."

ofcourse these doesn't necessarily mean drinking diet drinks cause cancer,but definitely shows there are legit concerns.and as for FDA and other food health bodies...their opinion can easily be influenced by finantial triggers from food companies and governments.

Hello diabetes and bad teeth.

My word all this for a can of pop!!!!!

Happens all the time on these threads,the food/drink Police,like we aren't capable of making our own decisions as Adults .

Just sent the Mrs down there...:laughing:

FARMFOODS...any 3 packs of 24cans for £15 ..Diet Pepsi, Pepsi , Pepsi max, Vimto , Diet Vimto, Tango, 7up, Emerge, Emerge sugar free, Lucasade original, Lucasade orange , fruit shoots blackcurrant ,fruit shoot orange .. also IronBru ..IronBru Diet and IronBru xtra at £4.99 for a case of 24 cans

not available to everyone, but I think they were £4.80 or thereabouts at Costco.

The sugar version has too much sugar and will be subject to the "fat tax" as evidence of high sugar content.
Taste depends on the individual. Many people who drink the diet version, may not like the sugar version.

Rats are not humans. Chocolate is poisonous to dogs. It is not poisonous to humans. Might does not mean does. Define high dose. High does of many thinks are carcinogenic. The study does not show a scientific link.
The recent study is not credible among the scientific community.
More studies demonstrate no risk.

Studies show high consumption of sugar drinks is bad for health. There is soon to be a "fat tax".
So we have clear evidence of sugar drinks being detrimental to health and dubious misquotes on aspartame.
Make your own decision.

Both versions contain chemicals!

your arguments about taste is just ridiculous.
I suppose you cannot drink the suger version hence why you try so hard to prove you point.

You can't get diabetes from sugar according to Diabetes UK. The biggest risk factor is obesity which is caused by eating too much of anything, particularly sugary and high fat foods because they tend to be high in calories.





[citations needed]


Aspartame isn't a carcinogen according to the NHS and Cancer research UK.



[citation needed]

There are minimal concerns with artificial sweeteners when consumed within ADIs because there are so many studies done on them. Check the the NHS and Cancer Research UK sites for more information.




You should read the link properly yourself first, you missed the next sentance:

"Two studies published by a group of Italian researchers suggested that very high doses of aspartame might increase the risk of some blood-related cancers (leukemias and lymphomas) in rats. However, both the FDA and the EFSA have called these results into question, citing a lack of some important data in the published studies and other concerns." - This was the Ramazzini study and was a very poor study that has not been repeated elsewhere so very limited suggestions can be drawn from it.

""A recent study of more than 125,000 people found a link between consumption of aspartame sweetened soda and the risk of leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma in men, but not in women. Since it also found a link between sugar sweetened soda and lymphoma in men, the researchers concluded that the links they found could be explained by chance."

Basically sugar and aspartame both are linked to those cancers, it can't be both so is hardly evidence.

The FSA (a government agency), the NHS, the EFSA etc etc have all concluded that aspartame, along with the other sweeteners, both natural and artificial, is safe and is basically scientific consensus. There is no biological plausibility for it to cause the things the internet says it does. If there is valid evidence that really challenges this consensus, I mean something that isn't a couple of limited studies. then it will be looked at the next EFSA review. A consensus in science is a strong conclusion, you can't ignore the 2000 studies concluding aspartame is safe or say they're probably wrong because of a few limited studies. There is no grand conspiracy affecting all health, government and academic institutions worldwide to hide the truth around a single sweetener.

It's a sugar levy so basically a tax and a regressive one at that. It is in my opinion, a pointless nanny state endeavour that will not have any effect on obesity. It might reduce consumer choice though. Companies may reduce the sugar content, to avoid the levy, and thus the taste so they will add sweeteners to compensate, meaning we will have no choice in avoiding sweeteners. Coke life tastes horrible to me.

Shall we rename this site HotUKDebates?

heat added, though I've never liked the taste of Pepsi, this is still a good deal for those who do

That was my point when you said earlier does anybody still drink the full sugar one,well obviously they do,people buy what they prefer,it must have gone over your head :laughing:

Can you identify a rhetorical question?

Farmfoods do Pepsi Max, Diet Pepsi and Pepsi at 3 x 24 for £15 as a normal price.

Evidently you can't,you can't type out a rhetorical question on a forum and put a question mark at the end of it :confused:

Does your post even make sense? Read it. Type a coherent version.

Yes it does make sense because it's a forum,how would anyone know the question was rhetorical,you're just being awkward for the sake of it,I'll leave you and your Cancer obsession to it,good day to you.

A rhetorical question is a question and can therefore end with a question mark (as I used). Anyone with basic intelligence would know the what was written was a rhetorical question. Pepsi (with sugar) is clearly sold and therefore drank. To ask whether people still drink it must be rhetorical. Did you obtain an "O" level or GCSE in English?

Did I suggest sugar causes cancer? Read the threads. I think you should quit whilst behind.

nice find
