Answer 2

Diet Drinks? No Added Sugar?

DIET CROAK!

Those titles always send alarm bells ringing with me.

Aspartame - E951
The single most evil additive allowed in the food chain. 50% is Phenylalanine, 40% is Aspartic Acid and 10% Methanol. The first two are naturally occuring Amino Acids, so what? I hear you say. Well, when they occur naturally, they are always in the presence of another dozen or so Amino Acids and not in such a large quantity as to do any damage, on their own and in large quantities, they can cause a lot of damage. Hence why any product has to have a health warning when it contains Aspartame. (That speaks VOLUMES - It Has To Have A Health Warning!)
The remaining 10% - Methanol, again it occurs naturally BUT always with its natural antidote - Ethanol.
The Methanol in Aspartame breaks down to Formic Acid (Natures poison - Ant Sting) and Formaldehyde (Embalming Fluid!)
EMBALMING FLUID! - You are drinking it! It attacks the nervous system causing headaches, blindness, hearing problems, vertigo, balance problems jeeeeez, the list is long. Infact the list - supplied by the FDA - has 92 symptoms recognised associated to Aspartame ingestion. On their list at number 77 is a side effect called DEATH!
Do youself a bit of research on Aspartame and problems associated with it and you'll be horrified. (Yahoo search for 'Aspartame' + 'Birth Defects')
There are some sites on the net that state it is 'healthy' and 'good', these sites are run by either the manufacturers or the government. Every independent site tells the truth as they're not being paid to cover it up.

Anyway, enough of my Rant! Check out my links - Remember to read the labels on EVERYTHING!

It is safer to smoke than drink deit croak.

Answer 3

If I were you, I'd avoid it if possible. The main problem I see with cola (aside from all the artificial chemicals) is that the phosphoric acid in it causes the body to draw calcium (which is alkaline) from the bones to neutralise the acid from the drink. If you're not consuming adequate extra calcium to make up for this, and you drink cola on a regular basis, it can potentially lead to bone problems, particularly osteoporosis. You shouldn't necessarily cut it out entirely, especially if you particularly enjoy it; but you should try to limit it to a couple of cans a week.

Answer 4

I dont tend to drink diet coke cos it has sweetner in it and this just rises my sugar level and makes me want to eat something sweet. Fizzy drinks arent good for you, but are not harmful if drank every now and then.

Answer 5

if you're worried about the "diet" bit, then yes it is.

instead of the calories or sugar, they just add other stuff and hide it in the nutrition tables. seriously, does everyone know what each ingredient means anyways? you need a degree in chemical biology to understand that!

Answer 6

If you drink it in very large amounts it wont do your teeth any good (the acid in the coke rots them!). Also it can make women more prone to suffering osteoporosis as they age (something to do with all the carbon dioxide)...;

Answer 7

It's still coke! Need I say more?

Answer 8

it is acidic as all coke is but normal drinking is not a problem as it stays for such a short time on the teeth

Answer 9

Answer 10

Have you ever put an old penny in some coke overnight? try this, it will Ans your question.

Answer 11
