About this listen

So we drank the Diet Coke. Bought the zero sugar snacks. Trusted the label. What if the label was the problem? The Sweet Lie pulls back the curtain on the illusion of "healthy" sweetness — tracing the rise of artificial sweeteners, the cultural brainwashing of diet products, and the subtle, billion-dollar system built to keep us coming back for more. This isn’t just about what’s in your drink. It’s about how that drink became normal.

With humor, clarity, and razor-sharp insight, JJ dismantles the modern diet myth, decoding the chemistry, psychology, and marketing that turned artificial sweetness into an everyday addiction. You’ll never look at “zero” the same way again.
