Diet Soda

Is diet soda bad for you? I havnt drank real soda in months but i had a really bad craving this mourning for some.So i drank a diet pepsi instead. Someone told me diet soda is bad also because of the artifical sweetners, etc. What you guys think?

AFAIK it isn't any worse for you than the regular stuff.

I say if you are drinking more than 3-4 cans a day you need to switch to diet otherwise all the sugar you ingest is going to just turn into fat.

But as with everything in life, moderation is the key.

I figure the caffine can't be great for you at the least. Check the ingredients label. I wonder if the carbination is harmful to your body over time.

well no matter what you consume is always going to be bad for your body one way or another. If it's not the massive amounts of sugar and carbs in the regular ones, it's the artificial sweetener that can also cause cancer but that's very unlikely.

I was crazy soda drinker back when i was a kid and i drank like 4-5 cans a day. I switched to diet after because i liked the taste better then the regular ones and i didnt intake like massive amounts of daily sugar. Now when i drink the regular soda it makes me wanna throw up. It leaves my saliva very sticky and sugary and makes me wanna yack.

Both diet sodas and regular sodas add to your risk of diabetes, i'd steer clear of these if you have a family history.....companies are using better sweeteners in their diet sodas now like Splenda/Sucralose (which is made of sugar, they just take all the bad stuff out so it doesn't effect your blood sugar levels). Also watch the sodium amounts from the volume you are consuming, too much can cause swelling and that's just not good.

I drink diet sodas all the time, I just stay away from ones made with Aspartame.

i just steer clear of soda's as much as possible, but i will enjoy a regular soda once in awhile. just take everything in moderation including diet sodas, dont go with the metality that just because its diet that you can eat twice as much of it than regular stuff.
