Answer 2

I'm actually a long-time drinker or diet sodas (diet mtn dew is among my favorites so I can relate). Since Diet Mountain Dew doesn't contain any sugar, calories aren't a problem. And caffeine can actually help to stimulate your metabolism. That's why I switched from regular to diet soda. However, as other people have noted it still can have other bad side effects. Carbonation and citric acid are bad for teeth, and artificial sugars have been known to cause cancer in lab rats (note that there are no reports of it causing cancer in humans... is it worth the risk? that's for you to decide) So basically my advice is moderation. Don't drink six every day. Maybe you could by with three? Substituting soda with water is always a good choice. I'll admit I sometimes have 4 or 5 cans in a day, but I try to limit it. EDIT : In response to what people have said about aspartame, here's the paragraph from the wikipedia article: "Aspartame has been the subject of several controversies, hoaxes and health scares[39] since its initial approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1974. Critics allege that conflicts of interest marred the FDA's approval of aspartame, question the quality of the initial research supporting its safety,[40][41][42] and postulate that numerous health risks may be associated with aspartame. The validity of these claims has been examined and dismissed.[3][40][43] In 1987, the U.S. Government Accountability Office concluded the food additive approval process had been followed properly for aspartame.[40][44] Aspartame has been found to be safe for human consumption by more than ninety countries worldwide,[45][46] with FDA officials describing aspartame as "one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved" and its safety as "clear cut".[47] The weight of existing scientific evidence indicates that aspartame is safe at current levels of consumption as a non-nutritive sweetener.[3]"

Are you climbing the walls yet hon??? Mountain Dew has a lot of caffeine !!!!!! It's really bad for you !! I don't drink sodas anymore. They are sweetened with HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). I avoid all food and drinks with HFCS in it !!!!!!! I drink a lot of Crystal Light !!!!!!!
