I was diagnosed with ADHD a few weeks ago, ive been put onto the waiting list for titration to start meds but it looks like its still gonna be a few months. I could really do with getting my meds asap as ive got exams and coursework coming up, anyone have recommendations for stuff to help with keeping me focused? I’m currently just downing monsters like they’re water whenever I need to do work

The zero sugar versions of things are not any healthier. In fact, artificial sweeteners can be less healthy

Yes and no, depends on your intake and genetics. Definitely zero sugar products have helped a lot of people avoid diabetes, which is huge in terms of overall health. Especially since diabetes is one of the most common problems in the hospital in many developed nations
