Please tell me more about sucralose and acesulfame potassium. How are they related to tinnitus?

Not sure how I got myself into this, but I have been heavily consuming zero-sugar caffeinated drinks (cola zero, mate zero, etc) for about 2 years now. About the same time the ears started ringing...

yeah, it definitely seems to be connected, also for me it got a lot worse, i always had it a bit but yeah two years ago, about the same time as i started using the sugar free versions.

i've basically kicked out caffeine altogether, except the tiny amounts in the cacao, which probably amount to about half a cup of coffee that gets spread out over about 5 hours when i have my morning breakfast cacao/salt/milk.

i hope you can solve this issue also. it's really messed up because as i discovered it advances into double vision and that has been a real kick in the nuts for me as a programmer.

I'll admit it has also coincided with taking the booster (I know I fke up, but never again) and being under immense emotional stress.

Take care Nostr friend ❤ I wish you well.

I'm a programmer myself so this would be problematic to have sight issues. I'm however positive that we could get over this by taking good care of our bodies and minds.

for sure, you need to ditch the fake sugars. my experience says that to resolve the problem properly you have to ditch all sugars except lactose.

an interesting and odd benefit out of this, i drink 3L of milk a day, with 3 tsp of sea salt and 60g of cacao powder (10% fat), and i've been walking the steep hills around here and doing situps and pushups and i'm starting to get a little cut after a month of this diet.

i seem to be recovered enough now too that i can tolerate a little of the sugars on occasion where up until very recently it was a ticket to a painful tooth for 24 hours. there could also be some kind of protective effect from the milk sugars and casein shielding my teeth from the chemical attack from the bacteria. and/or could be that my microbiome is changing because of the new diet.

i hope you manage to get that garbage out of your diet and move to the PV :D
