health help please?

Question

Whenever -- and only when -- I drink diet cherry vanilla coke, I burp a lot and the burps smell like feces. It is seriously disgusting.

Why is this?

Answer 1

Ok--first carbonated drinks cause you to have gas. You are drinking a lot of carbonation and it bloats your body.

Next, diet sodas contain aspartame and/or saccharin. There have been numerous studies on the health risks of consuming these. Aspartame has been linked to numerous nervous system disorders.

Nor is caffeine healthy for you. Artificial sweetners are toxins to your body. If you are doing this as a health thing, to lose weight--it is a BAD idea. Completely cut out all soda and replace it with water or natural juices (make a smoothie instead) and you will lose far far more weight than you would by drinking diet sodas.

Solution: stop drinking diet sodas
