    I’m the same, never drank zero for the same reasons and I pick ordinary sugar when I drink soda (not often).

    I also don’t use fluoride in toothpaste and that’s another thing people think is weird. But my teeth are absolutely fine after over 20 years of doing this. I use kingfisher tooth paste without fluoride.
