Diet sodas!

damn i need some feedbak...

i run 3miles a day and im wondering is it bad drinking diet sodas?
pros and cons please..

i feel guilty cuz they taste soo good


diet coke and diet dr.pepper are sooooo good


discuss

All soda's are bad for your health! Drink water and juice!

agreed. soda isnt good for you regardless. drink water.

they say aspartame causes cancer but i drink diet coke anyway.

I read that Nutrasweet (the sugar substitute used in diet drinks) actually makes you more hungry than drinks that use regular sugar in them.

This in turn would make you want to eat more thus making you gain more weight. So the whole "diet drink" concept is false. I'm addicted to soft drinks though lol. Dr. Pepper is the best!

drink regular soda in moderation if anything
i don't drink soda much, but when i do....i swear there's nothing worse than the taste of aspratame
ugh

aspertame becomes carcinogenic at high temps...it became an issue during the Gulf War ;D

I havent had a soda (except with the odd Rum and Coke) in probably about a year and a half. That stuffll kill yah

right you are, Orbax. i like a little Coca Cola with my Stoli Vanil tho, i don't care much for rum.

I only like spiced rums if we're talkin rum-wise. I usually drink my Hard A straight on the rocks. Lol, but not an alcoholic!

monitar warmed, of course

damn i was thirty too

diet anything that contains aspartame will kill your organs....
just drink sugarless redbull with voda...only 10cal

i think it's a sorry excuse to try and make you feel a tad bit better about drinking soft drinks. if you cant feel comfortable about drinking the "normal" kind dont even drink em at all. and dont even start about the diet kind tasting better cause it cant. it's all a mind trick being played on YOU. they are called "diet" sodas for a reason you know...if they did taste better in any way, they would make another soft drink all on its own dude

U go girl

Yeah 'diet' is a load of crap. Water is the best!

Also drink juices in moderation, they have about as much calories as soda.

i used to think that too, then my roommates got me hooked on diet dr pepper. it's good for when you don't want to drink water. i drink a ton of water and sometimes want something with taste. i don't like juice because it's too sweet, and i general don't like regular soda for that reason too. i can never drink more than a half cup of regular soda because it's so sticky and sweet. so now i have three things to drink (besides alcohol): milk, water and diet dr pepper.

i will say that diet coke and diet pepsi taste too nutrasweety for me. and diet dr pepper gets old quickly, i don't deal well with caffeine.

I run 2-3 miles a day but I drink water...far healthier.

Well I'm a Diet Coke addict and it doesn't have anything to do with the "diet" thing, it's all about the taste and feel. Regular soda is way too sweet and sticky for my tastebuds, unless there's something like rum to cancel that out. But Diet is all I drink because of the taste, nothing else.

its the acidity of cola thats bad not the sugar (which is also shitty). State and Federal laws here in the US would require chemists to label coca-cola as an acid "that could be harmful or fatal if ingested, if contact made with skin wash immediately, and if it gets in eyes wash and call for help"

Its about as damaging as HCL (stomach acid)

if acid is bad, try eating a whole pineapple. I came close to all of it, i was too full to finish off the last few

Acid aint so bad to injest, just as long as you dont injest too much coke or pinapples.

Sorry, I disagree. Diet Coke tastes great. It seems to lack the carbonation of regular soda, and since I enjoy drinking soda flat, it's the perfect substitute for me. Haven't had it in a long time, but there is no trick involved. Some people just naturally prefer the taste over others, that's all.

I stay away from all diet sodas.

Back in middle school i would get tremendous headaches but couldn't figure out why. Then there was a study that Nutrasweet causes brain cancer in laboratory mice. Lo and behold..Nutrasweet was in the Diet Coke i was drinking!

Well they took Nutrasweet out of Diet Coke, but it still contains Phenylketonurics and Aspartame. Phenylanine is an essential nutrient for the body, but not aspartame.

Long story short, i dont drink anything Diet or anything that contains aspartame. Havent had a headache [due to food or drink] since.

Also I remember reading somewhere that the trucks that carry the phosporic acid to be used in making coke has to be labeled with HAZMAT signs all over, and they can only run strict routes at certain times.

There was a chain email a couple years ago that listed a bunch of stats about coke.. like if you leave a 21 ounce steak in coke, it will dissolve overnight, and coke can eat thru a nail in a week.. cool little facts like that.

I wish i could find it, makes u think twice about ingesting it.

But im not against Coke or Pepsi.. hell I used to be a huge Mountain Dew fiend, but tastes change I guess. I cant even finish a 12 oz can of sprite anymore. Everywhere I go ( fast food, campus food courts, etc..) I only fill up on either Water or non-carbonated drinks ( Lemonade, Raspberry Iced Tea, lol )

Drink what you like and dont let anyone talk you out of it

I heard that Coca Cola just increased the sugar content in coke from 13 teaspoons to 14 teaspoons. I had some the other day......so sweet!!!! it was seriously too sweet for me to enjoy. I could barely even finish it.



How about cordial people??? it combines fruit juice and water.

why is it:

soda = US

pop = Canada

??

I think it's the other way around.
