So after a little research the caloric intake might be more than 0. I feel like your original comment came across as suggesting that “0 calorie” drinks had just as many calories as sugar, which is obviously far from the truth. But this research is interesting and important, and there’s a good chance I read your first comment in bad faith. Thanks for sharing
ya I did a lit review for my thesis a few years back, plenty of papers on microbes metabolizing these compounds, shouldn’t be hard to find.

Honestly its probably not a very big impact, its more of a “its possible” sort of thing.
Its a really interesting field!
