Answer 1

There has been a great deal of research done by the medical community on the use of artificial sweeteners, but none proves directly any serious health risks or problems. This is not to say that it is completely safe because only time can tell this. Also, many people react differently to substances put in their bodies.

you should not solely rely on diet or sugar filled drinks as your only liquids. It is good idea that you should be drinking a good deal of water. In fact, most dieticians recommend that people drink 6 - 8 8oz. glasses of water per day.

Answer 2

diet coke is bad for younger people i've heard. some say it can cause brain damage so i dont think you would want to risk it. ive heard it may even lead to cancer? and the splenda is extremely bad for you. but then again soda altogether is bad foryou. stick with the regular coke if your THAT addicted.

Answer 3

that artificial sweetener isnt processed out of your body like regular sugar and can build up in your tissues and blood. it will actually cause you to retain water and gain weight. the only way to flush the artifical sweetener out of your body is by drinking pure water...

Answer 4

half the time friends don't know what they are taking about... experience. i'm not sure if it's bad for you or not-ask your dr.
i cannot drink any diet soda- i have high blood pressure and diet soda has too much salt content.
i know all soda is not good for your teeth. :)

Answer 5
