Hey guys,
I heard diet coke gives you somewhat of a tummy because of the chemicals in it. Is that true?
What's the relation between diet coke and expanding waist lines?

Caffiene doesn't make your waistline bigger, it increases thermogenesis and therefore speeds the metabolic rate up. It could possibly be the carbonated water that may make you feel bloated, but there's really no evidence to support that. The chemicals in Diet Coke that make it differ from Coke are Acesulfame and Aspartame. These two substances aren't exactly good for you, they're what scientists are now calling "you said 'could we?', but you didn't say 'should we?'", like in Jurassic Park (that long line Jeff Goldblum says). Scientists predict these substances to change the human body by vast amounts in the future, much as McDonalds did before people knew how bad it was.

I think it's beause of the number of people who are already overweight who drink diet coke. People see these overweight people drink diet coke and come up with the idea that these people are overweight because they are drinking diet coke. not at all. the others are correct when they say it's the gas in the drink, and the effect is noticeable if you are not overweight to begin with.
There is No relation between diet coke and expandING waist lines. ExpandED waist lines... yes.

No it doesn't. The stuff you eat that makes you think you ought to have a diet coke expands your waistline.

its not just diet coke, its any fizzy drinks in general. The reason ( i think) is because they are full of gas, which obviously bloats you.
Just stick to squash or juice in the future, or water.

it is said that your body mistakes the artificial sweetners for sugar and stores it as fat. Also the gas in diet coke makes your belly grow. Furthermore- if you put a 2p coin in a glass of coke - it will clean it -----------Chemical madness
Needless to say i do not drink it

The carbonation causes excess gas and an extended tummy temporarily. I'd be even more concerned about what soda does to your bones, teeth, and skin. Anything that can take rust off a nail shouldn't be ingested!

The sodium can cause you retain water.
I've also heard that when your body receives the sweetness of the cola, it expects sugar...then, when it does not get the sugar, it begins to crave it...so it potentially, through a series of events, cause you to eat more.
