it is better to drink regular... sacrin (the artificial sweetener in diet sodas) is very bad for your system becz believe it or not u NEED sugar! im 12 and i became hypoglycemic a few months ago becz i have always put artificial sweeteners in my tea and i dont drink soda alot. Also, in the first iraq war, the coke company sent diet cokes to some soldiers in the war and when they came back, many of them had neurological problems that made there nervous system mess up. it was found that those soldiers were the ones that had drinked the diet coke and they linked it to this. i now use regular sugar and no diet sodas becz if i dont, i end up shaky and dizzy becz of me having hypoglycemia...

that depends on how you define "better"..
diet sodas contain artificial sweetners that can be bad for you.. but then again regular sodas contain fructose and corn sweetners that are just as bad..
A recent published study said that people who drank diet soda had no difference in weight/rates of obeisty, etc.
However, I would say the best Soda is NO Soda.. drink water instead ... its better for you!

Drink room temperature tap water that you run through a reverse osmosis or other purifier at home.
Don't drink more than two small glasses of juice a day, eat fruit and vegetables instead.
Never drink "soda".
A small amount of good quality beer or red wine per day is ok, but the key is to make it a very small amount.
Up to two cups of black coffee are ok.
Up to four cups of green tea are beneficial.
Don't get ripped off buying expensive, polluting, bottled water, which is usually just bottled tap water.

I think it is better to drink regular soda because diet soda has some chemicals in it in the form of artificial sweetener.

I guess it's up to you, if you want to keep the calories down then of course diet is the way to go, personally I prefer diet soda and I'm not counting calories, just a matter of taste.

they say now it is just as bad to drink diet soda. people gain weight because of what they eat with the soda. and tend to eat more .

It's better to drink diet because it doesn't have all of the sugar. Regular has a ton of sugar in it. I have diabetes so I have to drink diet. At first it tasted funny but eventually you get used to it. If you like coke products, you can drink coke zero. It tastes exactly like the real stuff. They also have it in sprite and vault. Certain diets do have caffeine though. Like diet coke, pepsi, coke zero, vault, mountain dew, and others. but it is good to not always drink it but it is a lot healthier. My dad stopped drinking regular and he lost about 8 pounds.

diet is better for you, but doesn't taste better.
usually there's no calories in a diet soda because the sugar content has been removed.
calories mean more weight, what's your thought.
