Their have been studies lately that say diet coke could lead a certain type of cancer (not brain) but I forgot which. It could be liver. Anyways another one says that it might actually increase your appetite causing you to gain weight. I don't believe this one however because I lost 30 pounds (while on a diet) and I was drinking diet coke while I was doing this. I'm not saying that diet coke helps you lose weight, I'm saying it doesn't help you gain weight. Anyways I like drinking envigia (misspelled). Its a carbonateId tea beverage and the berry flavored one taste good. Not a lot is known about sodas but they could be just like smoking. Back 60 or 70 years ago people didn't know smoking was bad for them.

Just what scientific study is your mom citing on this one? Back in the 60's, there were studies that showed lab mice got cancer from consuming the human equivalent of 65 gazillion cans a day of diet soda. If coke zero is your only vice, then go for it! A very fun place to look at coke factoids/urban legends is at www.snopes.com

Coke Zero has no effect on you at all. (Hence the name)
Some people have a predisposition to get a certain kind of kidney stones. The phosphoric acid in Coke sometimes causes them. If you've never had a kidney stone, then this doesn't apply to you.
