You’re one of the many who can’t taste the difference. I’m happy for you. It’s a genetic thing. Artificial sweeteners bind to bitter receptors in some people, including me.
The good news is my own soda consumption is nearly down to zero because of it. On the rare occasion that I drink anything sugary, I do indeed prefer the full-sugar version.
Also, it’s not about health, the artificial sweeteners. Sugar has become increasingly expensive to the point where substituting it is just a way to bring down production costs. If you want zero sugar, by all means. Wish I could partake. But don’t mix aspartame into everything
