Just discovered a much easier way to grind my coffee in the morning and felt dumb because it was so obvious, figure there’s some good stories out there about this type of thing out there

Very true. For that matter, the “wellness” industry in general and a lot of popular wisdom about what ails us is mostly trivial, too.
The amount of weight given to the topic of whether artificial sweeteners are better or worse for your overall health than sugar compared to the time spent on talking about the dismally low percentage of the population who actually eat enough fruit and veg is the complete wrong way around!
Diet Coke is the least of your worries if you’re not getting any fibre, people! And if you are getting enough fibre, protein, and healthy fats, the right level of calories and all your recommended vegetables, then by all means drink all the Diet Coke you want! Which won’t be much because healthy diets leave you much more satiated and naturally energetic anyway.
The reason of course is that avoiding artificial sweeteners or some purported “toxin” is a quick and easy way to feel healthier and feel like you’re doing something without actually having to think about true overall health… Allegorically, everyone’s trying to build a pyramid from the top down.
