I was just wondering how bad diet soda is (in moderation) compared to regular soda? With regular soda, you're consuming empty calories... but there are several studies surrounding diet soda and how bad it is for you...What are your thoughts?
 
Im not speaking of moderation here , so sorry for not answering your question.... But I have a friend who is 29 , recently lost alot of weight however he drinks a 2 liter daily of diet mountain dew.... A few days ago was in the hospital for chest pains
 
Man, it's like this, sugar is bad (we all know this), aspartame is bad (I think we all know this). With that said, they are both bad, but you've gotta pick your poison sometimes. I choose to drink whatever is around. I can't however drink Coke, shit kills me. I'm a sucker for regular Pepsi, but will drink diet if it's around. The way I look at it is that if I'm going to die, I'm going to die happy. There's numerous other things out there more deadly than soda so this is honestly the least of my worries. But if you're on a diet, be calorie conscience and drink diet, it's the lesser of 2 evils

Very true! Nice perspective!
 
Some people can't take diet soda due to the sensitiveness's to their health effects,
Some people experience migraines, headaches and head pain,
People epilepsy should avoid diet soda as it might results in seizure,
Researches shows that diet cola results weight gain in certain people..

In fact many people don't use diet soda because of some artificial ingredients in it and i also suggest others not to use it.

I agree. When in question, go with the most natural substance. Sugar is way better than aspartame. Also, diet drinks compensate by increasing the caffeine. Diet Coke has about double the caffeine of regular Coke.
 
I agree with Mills Cammy that diet soda is not good for health and can be harmful for our body.So we should not use it and always try to avoid it.
 
Hi,
A nice alternative to soda (with sugar or diet) is to drink seltzer water. The bubbles are a nice addition to water, and I typically add a squeeze of lemon or lime. Most restaurants will serve it if you ask. No calories, and no sodium, unlike the more trendy Perrier or San Peligrino. Refreshing....
 
The dilemma with Diet soda over reg soda is that the diet consist of the artificial sweeteners as we all know. These ingredients are known to stimulate appetite, and increase the desire to drink more fluid, thus making your thirsty.
Water retention is one, and to the stimulated appetite both will effect any persons diet on any scale. The Reg soda are actually known to be more fulling and be less consumed then the diet, the diets will be sipped and drank in more quantity over the reg. so you can figure out whats next and so on!
 
Don't go for either just drink water, you know high fructose corn syrup is bad too.
Also, "Coke provides natural sugar" is false, corn syrup is artificial.
 
I used to go through a case a day of this stuff back in 06 and 07. During my divorce I couldn't afford it. Now that I'm back on my feet I have a little apple juice with my morning insulin smoothie and he rest of the day is plain water. About 2 gallons a day. I was completely dehydrated a few days ago and ran to the store and grabbed the Diet mountain Dew. It tore me up a bit and took me 3 days to finish the little 16oz bottle

Omg, I haven't had some Dew in years. I use to love mountain dew and cactus cooler mixed lol
 
omg, every obese woman that works in the hospital wears them. i love watching them all wear their shape-ups as they hit the bakery on the first floor and load up on cookies and cake everymorning
 
I've also heard that drinking diet coke in excess causes cancer so it should be avoided but I think its just a propaganda for making bad image in customers minds about Coke brand.
 
I love the fuck out of some Coke Zero, Dt DR Pepper, Dt Mt Dew and Diet A&W Root Beer. I dont care if it causes cancer.
