    If artificial sweeteners triggered insulin, how come swaths of diet soda drinkers aren't going into hypoglycemia when they drink it on an empty stomach?

    My husband is addicted to diet soda and has significant issues with aching joints, particularly in his hands. As soon as he stops drinking it, the pain stops. There is research out there about the correlation. I'm not taking the time to site it here, but be fully aware there are health issues related to any kind of soda, diet or not.

    My mum has osteoporosis and one of the very first things her specialist asked her was if she drinks soda. Yes, she did used to drink a lot of it :( He made her swear black and blue to quit drinking it or else it will just make her condition get worse than it has to.

    yes i believe this has to do with uptake of calcium into bones and sodas in excessive amount can have detrimental effect on this - nothing to do with artificial sweeteners though, same issue for regular or diet soda.

    Yes, true true :smile: I should have clarified that.

    I don't think there are many people who drink ONLY water though. I once started a thread asking that and 4 pages or so only had one or two people who did that

    People can drink water sometimes or most of the time and also drink other things, you know.
    And that is not bad for you.
