I don't drink it like water, lol. Just sometimes when I want something flavored to go with my meals. But I love Juice and I actually like Kool Aid, lol.

The US Food and Drug administration gets more complaints about the sweetener in diet soda than all other complaints for other foods combined.
The committee actually recommended to reject this substance, but were overruled by the head of the FDA, who ended up working for the soft drink industry.
A Nobel prize winning chemist states that the substance in diet sodas, when combined with the nitrites in packaged meat, creates a substance that is so cancerous, they use it to create cancer in lab animals.

Drink Crystal Lite, usually found next to the kool aid, it is in powdered form. It has 0 sugar & 0 calories. Even hospitals serve it to diabetic patients.Diet soda is no good, empty calories & chemicals, + CO2, (which is what makes the effervescence in soda) carbon dioxide is a waste product thats what we exhale, adding CO2 to your system is no good, (research acid vs alkaline in your system, your body is meant to be more alkaline than acid) Water is the best, drink more water all day, you can squeeze fresh lemon, lime or orange juice in it & serve it on ice cubes, very refreshing!

All soda is pretty much bad for you because of the sugar content and the caffiene and other chemicals you are ingesting- as for diet sodas- the things they put in their to replace the sugar have been proven to be cancer causing or brain poisoning if not both.
Aside from natural sweeteners like honey, stevia, etc- there are no safe sugar substitutes and what is in the diet drinks makes it htat much worse for you

I think that some diet sodas contain "sucra" sugar and that can be bad for you. I read an article on-line about how this substance is what causes all sorts of health problems. Nevertheless people are in the dark about stuff like this. Stay Healthy.

Yaus it's freakin bad for you omg you're gonna die oh noez
Seriously. The amount of aspartame in diet soda is miniscule. You could drink a six-pack a day and be just as healthy as the next person.
minnesota_cold, learn what you're talking about. The word you're looking for is "carcinogen," and aspartame only resulted in cancer in lab mice after it was given to them in enormous doses.

All soda is bad for you.
People think by drinking diet soda they can lose weight. It's not true. They did a study on it and its shown to not do anything.

I have type 2 diabetes. My doctor (a specialist in the field) told me to stay away from regular soda, but that diet soda was no problem. no limits on quantity.

It depends on who you talk to. I have an aunt who drinks only diet soda who has had so many health problems recently... She believes it comes from all the diet Pepsi she's drank in her lifetime. I have an uncle who also only drinks diet who was just diagnosed with diabetes. So who can say?
Me, personally... I think its gross!

Just don't ever drink Diet Dr. Pepper. My dentist says it's the worst you can drink for your teeth. It has prune juice in it that adheres to the teeth (sticky) and causes lots of cavities.

Diet is bad because it has so much more sodium in it you are better to drink regular soda
