What the?!?! Just curious...how old are you?

Not sure honestly. I am not too astute with all of this AI stuff. Just the first thing that popped up. (I closed out the page)

Who’s copilot? Azure? Just curious a lot of these helper ai tools are called copilot these days

1. "mixed evidence" from CoPilot 2. from the cleveland clinic, discussing research connecting artificial sweeteners to diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, mood disorders, mental stress, autism, early menstruation, and other effects 3. From Health.com...not so much a dive into whether or not they are bad for you but rather list the top 10 sweeteners and a little description of each. In each, there is a segment on 'research has triggered concerns' in some form or another 4. From the Mayo Clinic, the same article you posted. You either didn't read all the way through, or you cherry picked the hell out of it. Here are a few other excerpts: Some research on long-term, daily use of artificial sweeteners suggests a link to a higher risk of stroke, heart disease and death overall. If you're living with a rare genetic disease called phenylketonuria. Foods and drinks with aspartame can lead to serious health problems. If you have a bowel disease. Using sugar substitutes might make your symptoms flare up. And then finally, their "bottom line" Artificial sweeteners can be a short-term way to help some people lessen their use of sugar and lose or manage weight. In general, sugar substitutes are safe for healthy adults. But be aware of how sugar substitutes affect your food and drink choices. These ingredients may get your tastebuds used to sweetness. And that can make drinking enough water a challenge. Products made with sugar substitutes also may give you the wrong message about processed foods. A snack labeled low sugar or no sugar may not be the most nutritious choice. Whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables, usually have the best mix of nutrients for the body. 5. The healthline article you posted, and again cherry picked the hell out of. For example, you didn't include the section that talked about links to depression and seizures, or the section that talked about detoriating gut health which leads to weight gain, poor blood sugar control, metabolic syndrome, weakened immune system. So my point of posting all of this, is not to convince you personally that artificial sweeteners are not a good choice, but to....well I will just go back to what I said above..."But in order to get down to the truth of things, one would have to conduct such a search with subjectivity, with the intent to learn, not search with the intent of confirmation bias." (which would include cherry picking information out of articles you look up to only focus on the information that would provide that confirmation bias)

The only response that I can give to the above quote that's even remotely able to reach far enough down to your level is: I am rubber and you are glue and whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you!!!

The text of the Constitution on the official government site has been edited to remove Sections 9 and 10. It just so happens these are the sections that cover Judicial Review and Habeas Corpus. Does Trump not want people reading about these Constitutional Rights? Imagine if Joe Biden did something like this.

I’m confused, is he saying that the Cleveland Clinic, Health.com, and the Mayo Clinic are somehow biased to my prior opinions?

So you can't...got it! Why is it that some of you run when asked questions about your take on things??

Bills fans have been doing this for years... I would bet it's covert Bills fans...

Lovely trial. My first response is: on iPhone Harvard so diff response. Tailored answers to your identity on your device on work Mac device Mayo Clinic is first answer

I honestly don't have the energy right now to explain cancel culture and MAGA and bla blah blah to you... You would only come back with more ridiculous questions to that response so I'm not getting on that carousel.

How do you know when politicians are lying? At least Colbert exposes some of it. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna223128 https://www.foxnews.com/media/colbert-confronts-jb-pritzker-map-showing-illinois-gerrymandering

The first 3 were the top 3, the last one was #6. I do not use Google as my preferred search engine btw edit: and yes I would say those links are pretty consistent with the science being unsettled

It's almost like you haven't even been alive that last 4+ years...this has been rampant well before the R's took over...some could say it was way worse. By the way, care to use actual data/facts/logic to back up your comment that "SNL, Chapelle, Colbert, John Stewart, Stern, John Oliver and the list goes on and on...." were canceled because of "MAGA" (whatever that is)...and aren't each of those still going/performing???

Those are the 'top' responses you get? You said yourself the science is unsettled but those just happen to be the 'top' responses you get? Okay I'll do a little trial, type in the exact same words, and if those are the top responses I get I will be sure to let you know.

Please don't will it. One can only take so much.

Top responses I get for a simple search for “are artificial sweeteners unhealthy” 1. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/whats-worse-sugar-or-artificial-sweetener This points out some of the theories people say they’re bad, but doesn’t really have data to back it up. And at least admits it doesn’t, as people often point to studies saying things like “artificial sweeteners are ASSOCIATED with some negative health outcomes,” but good chance that’s more likely because people that eat/drink artificial sweeteners probably eat a lot of other crap too. A doctor quoted in this article also makes the claim that artificial sweeteners lead to overeating. This has not been proven, and in fact numerous studies show consuming artificial sweeteners IN PLACE OF sugar actually results in weight loss (some studies even show weight loss compared to water). 2. https://www.health.com/best-and-worst-artificial-sweeteners-7974926 quote: Artificial sweeteners can be a healthy way to add sweetness without sugar, but not all sugar substitutes are created equal. Some artificial sweeteners offer sweetness without introducing unwanted or potentially unhealthy chemicals or additives into your diet. Still, some studies link artificial sweeteners to an increased risk of health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.12 However, research is mixed, and some evidence points to the potential benefits, even for people at risk of these conditions. For example, people with diabetes might use artificial sweeteners to help manage their blood sugars. Others might use them for dental health or weight loss. Still, some nonnutritive substitutes are better than others.3 I don’t know if I’d go as far as saying they’re “healthy,” but I feel pretty confident in saying the jury is still out on them being “unhealthy.” 3. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/artificial-sweeteners/art-20046936 In general, artificial sweeteners are safe in limited amounts for healthy people, including pregnant people. But limit or cut out sugar substitutes: If you're living with a rare genetic disease called phenylketonuria. Foods and drinks with aspartame can lead to serious health problems. If you have a bowel disease. Using sugar substitutes might make your symptoms flare up Health benefits linked to sugar substitutes If you replace added sugar with sugar substitutes, it could lower your risk of getting tooth decay and cavities. Sugar substitutes also don't raise the level of sugar in the blood. For adults and children with overweight or obesity, sugar substitutes also might help manage weight in the short term. That's because sugar substitutes often are low in calories or have no calories. But it's not clear whether sugar substitutes can help people manage their weight over the long term. Over time, it's most important to eat a healthy diet and get exercise. Health concerns linked to sugar substitutes Health agencies have clarified that sugar substitutes do not cause serious health problems. Sugar substitutes also are not linked to a higher risk of cancer in people. Studies dating back to the 1970s linked the artificial sweetener saccharin to bladder cancer in rats. Since then, research has shown that those findings don't apply to people. Some research on long-term, daily use of artificial sweeteners suggests a link to a higher risk of stroke, heart disease and death overall. But other things people do, or healthy habits that people don't do, may be the cause of the higher risk. Other research is looking at long-term use of sugar substitutes and the gut. Many focus on how the gut and brain communicate. Researchers are checking to see if sugar substitutes affect cravings for sweets, the way people feel hunger and how the body manages blood sugar. Sugar alcohols, stevia and luo han guo can cause bloating, gas and diarrhea. The amount of sugar alcohol that causes these symptoms varies from person to person. In general, it is safest to take in small amounts of sugar substitutes. And it's best to use sugar substitutes for a short time, or just every once in a while. So try to cut back if you use them a few times a day. The bottom line Artificial sweeteners can be a short-term way to help some people lessen their use of sugar and lose or manage weight. In general, sugar substitutes are safe for healthy adults. But be aware of how sugar substitutes affect your food and drink choices. These ingredients may get your tastebuds used to sweetness. And that can make drinking enough water a challenge. Mayo Clinic is pretty reputable, no? They don’t seem to agree that “artificial sweeteners are bad, it’s common sense.” This was also one of the top results and I thought provided a good summary of what my current understanding is, with references: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/artificial-sweeteners-good-or-bad#bottom-line Overall, the use of artificial sweeteners poses few risks and may even have benefits for weight loss, blood sugar management, and dental health. These sweeteners are especially beneficial if you use them to decrease the amount of added sugar in your diet. That said, the likelihood of negative effects can vary by individual and depend on the type of artificial sweetener consumed. Some people may feel bad or experience negative effects after consuming artificial sweeteners, even though they are safe and well tolerated by most people.

Wear red hats, ignore the facts

Still waiting for RV to comment.

This is MAGA cancel culture at work yet again... Everyone can try to explain away with all the anecdotes they can think of but very simply- cancelled by maga because he hurts their feelings... It's cool when he craps on other people but as soon as you crap on them it's "they're not funny anymore" This is literally the same with all comedic people/shows that they used to watch/listen to before trump came along and now because the comedians point out the absolute absurdity of their positions "they're aren't good anymore..." SNL, Chapelle, Colbert, John Stewart, Stern, John Oliver and the list goes on and on.... If I had a nickel for every time I hear or see MAGA people say: "I haven't watched that in years, they haven't been funny in a long time..." "SNL is trash, they just make fun of MAGA now, can't believe it's still on the air!" Like just be honest with yourself, you don't agree with them pointing out MAGA absurdities. It's still funny to a lot of people just not "you"...

But getting back to common sense.....maybe the initiative is to cut out, or drastically reduce, the intake of sodas across the board....diet, regular, sweeteners that are chemicals, sweeteners that are refined, or even sweeteners that are raw and natural, and replace them with.....I don't know.....water?
