YES! Most "soft" drinks are bad for you. Even though the diets have sugar substitutes in them the acid is horrible on your teeth. I also think there is something in there that makes them addictive. I see more people drinking diet coke like it's water than I see them drink anything. In the end ultimately the best drink for your body will always be water, soft drinks just cause more harm than good.

Oh well, I drink about 5 cans a day and i am first-rate. I feel that ingesting something carbonated is not good for enamel (including carbonated water) but it surely's certainly higher than ingesting Fanta or Sprite and even diluting orange because it doesn't have sugar. I feel the caffeine free one (gold can) also is excellent and i don't become aware of any style difference. In case you like the taste of actual coke then the Zero one is excellent (black can). So long as you drink some water as well and do not best get your liquid from weight loss plan coke and have a healthy diet i don't think you will have anything to fear about.

As lengthy as you drink a few water as good and do not simplest get your liquid from vitamin coke and feature a healthful vitamin I do not feel you've got something to fear approximately.

When are people going to let this nonsense go? How long before I'm left with taking vitamins and only drinking water that was approved by the FDA, USDA, ADA, AMA and blessed by God himself?
This is ridiculous and it's getting old.
Even if it is bad for you it can't hurt if it's only taken in moderation- even water can make you sick if you drink too much of it. Maybe the idea here shouldn't be to become a damned health nut but to get off of the couch and exercise some freaking SELF CONTROL!!!

Oh properly, I drink approximately 5 cans an afternoon and that i'm nice. i think of that ingesting something carbonated isn't sturdy for tooth (alongside with carbonated water) whether it relatively is truthfully better than ingesting Fanta or Sprite or perhaps diluting orange because it does not have sugar. i think of the caffeine unfastened one (gold can) is likewise sturdy and that i do no longer notice any style distinction. in case you like the style of actual coke then the 0 one is physically powerful (black can). as long as you drink some water to boot and don't in basic terms get your liquid from weight loss application coke and have a healthy weight loss application i do no longer think of you have something to tension approximately.

No, they aren't. They don't have calories, or any nutritional value whatsoever. It's like drinking caffeinated water.
And, umm, to the dumb teen above me, there's no preservatives in soft drinks. What a dumb thing to say.
And, umm, to the dumb teen below me, there's never been a single study showing that caramel coloring is bad for you. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If you don't know the answer don't PULL IT OUT YOUR *** as you go along, for christ's sake! Artificial sweeteners are only bad for you in quantities too large for a human being to ingest (we're talking a hundred pounds in a day, duh)
Another dumb teen claims diet sodas contain "carbonic acid", which is entirely untrue. Totally bogus! You haven't received an honest, truthful answer yet. Diet sodas, as all sodas, contain carbonated water, NOT carbonic acid. Read more about carbonic acid here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid
JUST SAY NO TO STUPIDITY!
Davey just made the outrageous claim that diet sodas contain "sugar" which will "fatten you up"--DIET SODAS CONTAIN ZERO CALORIES. ZERO. DIET SODAS CONTAIN NO SUGAR. NO SUGAR. Davey needs to go back to school, because little davey told a stupid lie and claimed he was a dietician. Davey is a 13 year old liar.
I am getting thumbs down for telling the truth. Imagine that! Wow, truth is bad, lies are good, on yahoo answers?

Soft drink contains carbonic acid which is not good for the teeth. If tooth is kept in the soft drink for a very long time it gets dissolved.

Yes, they are.
The phosphoric acid depletes the bones of calcium over time.
Nutrasweet breaks down into formic acid , methanol & aspartic acid in the body. Even small amounts require water to help the body get rid of the toxins.
Municipal water in the US is some of the safest to drink in the entire world, much better than soda of any kind.

at the very least, it does two things. The first is that your enamel in your teeth will wear down quicker. The second is that instead of refreshing your body, it actually dehydrates you.
You are better off drinking water with a twist of lime or lemon.

diet soda causes your body to react as it would with normal soda because of it's deceivingly sweet flavor. It's not good for you because you produce insulin to break down the sugar, but it has no sugar to break down... this is bad. I also read that there have been studies proving that diet soda hinders weight loss. My advice? Stick to water
