    I used to LOVE diet coke, and then my husband's uncle explained to me all I was doing was pumping embalming fluid into my body slowing poisoning myself. So whenever you want that coke just picture a morgue with a body being pumped full of diet coke. That ended my relationship with ALL Soda. I just can't look at them the same anymore. Hopefully I ruined it for you too..

    Please do some research before you spread misinformation. This is not true at all.

    OP, is there a specific reason why you say that the Diet Coke is bad for you?

    Agreed! Diet Coke has no nutritional value. If you don't want any calories in your drink of choice, drink water. More value less buck.

    What nutritional value does water have?

    If someone considers the taste of diet Coke worth paying for, then wouldn't it be worth it to them?

    Diet Coke will absolutely kill you because it doesn't taste as good as Coke Zero. Also, every person who has ever drank water will die.

    Actually, this is quite factual. Everyone who was born will also die.

    I want to drink diet soda but I don't enjoy the fake-sugar taste of it. I just usually just drink small amounts of regular soda less frequently or unsweetened iced tea.

    Drink all the diet pop you want. You shouldn't consider it to be any different than water.
    Here is the link to a discussion I started a while back. It contains several great references to the science behind what makes up diet pop (soda):

    Y'all can drink aspartame all you want but the stuff is crap. Period. I don't understand how people think it's okay. I don't know. I was there, I loved my diet dew and no one could take it from me without experiencing my wrath. I wouldn't touch the stuff ever again, but that's just me.

    I used to have a big diet coke habit. I'm a dental nurse and decided to give it up because it's acidic and terrible for your teeth. I'll still have one every now and then but it's not something people should be drinking daily.

    I went out to eat with friends and they ordered margaritas. I ordered a diet soda. As far as I"m concerned, we all ordered something delicious, that we felt like enjoying at that time. But why am I the only one who is frowned upon for my beverage of choice? I don't guzzle it all day any more than they guzzle margaritas all day. I really get tired of the disapproving looks when I pop the top of my can of soda. I drink approximately 1 a day. Sometimes more, but it's usually just the one.
    I don't look disapprovingly at people who have a beer or two every day.
    Soda is not evil. I would think common sense would prevail and people would realize that you shouldn't drink it all day, every day, and have it be your only beverage. But that same common sense should help people realize that drinking it every day, or only occasionally is just fine. Just like EVERYTHING.
    Sorry -- just so sick and tired of the 'soda ruins everything' attitude so many seem to have. Not saying soda is a great nutritional choice, but I'm sick of hearing how horrible it supposedly is.

    ^ That is just completely not true. I'm drinking a diet coke right now, and I'll not hesitate to drink another one tomorrow. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Aspartame is one of the most thoroughly studied artificial sweeteners out there- and they've never found it to have negative effects on humans in the amount that we can consume it. You'd die from hyponatremia (poisoning from the ever-so-scary WATER) before you could ever come close to having an issue from too much aspartame. In everything in life- the dose makes the poison.
    Same (Well Pepsi Max) is like 8 calories for a 2 litre bottle, I given up so many other things i don't smoke, I barely Drink anymore, so this is one vice i'm gonna be keeping for now! x

    I'm with you sister! I drink a diet soda at my 5 o'clock break (I work nights) it's a treat that I look forward to and a nice little caffeine bump. I don't guzzle the stuff all day, but if I did, who cares? Never Diet Coke though can't stand the stuff, but Coke Zero or Cherry Coke Zero? Oh yeah

    It is scientifically proven that everybody who ever drank diet coke died or will die sooner or later!

    I'm a diet coke ahollic, it might not be like pumping embalming fluid into your body but it's definitely not good for you. No nutritional value. I drank at least 4 or 5 cans a day. She is just quoting what someone has said to her and if that's what it took to get her to stop drinking diet coke than that is awesome I wish someone would scare me.
