Good on the WHO for holding Coca Cola accountable in some way, but I don't want to see anyone giving people who still drink it a hard time. Some people are diabetic. Some people find it helps them with migraines. Some people desperately need caffeine and find it their least objectionable option. If you wouldn't give someone crap for drinking a beer every day, don't jump in to "Um actually" people who choose to drink diet soda

#this may be early for a complaint about it but the 'aspartame causes cancer' factoid has been a thing for a long time now #this is not new information #chances are that ppl drinking diet soda are making an informed choice #I have spent years having to justify drinking diet cola over sugared options bc people keep bringing this up to me #they only lay off when I tell them I have a family history of diabetes #I shouldn't have to disclose my medical history to be left alone over a soda #maybe inform them if they have explicitly expressed concern over finding healthy drink options #but if they haven't brought it up just let them drink
