Why has no one mentioned Diet Mt. Dew?!!! That is the mana from heaven, it is the king of all diet drinks and reigns supreme over them all!
I drink basically all diet drinks with no issues, still drink plenty of water, and coffee. I'm slightly ADD so the caffeine actually helps me focus and none of the artificial sugars are going to hurt you (90% of them won't even trigger a glycemic response so you can drink them while fasting). They haven't ever hurt my teeth but maybe I'm just odd there, the dentist even tried to claim I had been flossing last visit (pfft she was the last person to floss my teeth at 6 months ago). All the bad claims against diet soda is false science and old wives tales.
And seriously folks - Diet Mt. Dew is the best.3 -
The idea behind diet soda is that artificial sweeteners confuse your body and make you crave real sugar. I highly recommend you watch "Fed Up," a documentary on Netflix that revolves around childhood obesity, but has excellent research and information regarding diet sodas.0

I'm sure most of us already know the "idea" behind it. Knowing that doesn't make it true. It's not. I didn't crave real sugar when I drank regular soda. I like the mouth feel. I haven't craved real sugar in the ten plus years that I've been drinking diet soda. The claim is bunk.4 -

You probably have an optimal oral environment - which is down to genetics. I'm the same way. Last time I went to the dentist (new one for me), they were all chipper about the condition of my teeth - strong, healthy, no signs of decay, X-rays great, yada. Did mention that there was a little plaque build up and one extra flossing session per day should take care of it. Wanted to know how long it had been since my last dentist's visit.
They about lost it when I told them I hadn't been to one in the eight years I was in grad school (I was a student, poor, had no dental issues, it didn't seem important). And I didn't floss in all that time unless something got stuck between my teeth. And I drank lots and lots of diet soda. Mostly because the local water tasted horrible.
For people who aren't so lucky, the acidity of soda (and fruit juice, etc) can be a big problem.0 -

No thanks, I will stick to the actual science which has shown time and again that artificial sweeteners are safe, rather than a propaganda based pseudoscience documentary which focuses on fearmongering.
Additionally, I've been drinking diet soda for 25+ years. I've known lots of others who do as well. Neither I, nor anyone I've ever spoken to has described this often alluded to scenario that drinking diet coke increases cravings for sweet foods, increases hunger, etc. I drank diet coke at my skinniest in high school and college, at my heaviest about 5 years ago, and all the times in between. It has not had any direct impact on my weight management, since it is essentially zero calories.6 -

I haven't heard any arguments against it. What's the reason it should be avoided?

Not that it matters to me, but if you do a little bit of Googleing you'll see Coca-Cola and PepsiCo both agreed to remove it from all their drinks back in 2014.0 -

I am remembering a thread about this some time ago. The OP (not you, so others don't assume it was) thought that the white stuff (IDK, and I'm not going to ask) she was peeing out was fat.queenliz99 wrote: »Why has no one mentioned Diet Mt. Dew?!!!

I bought some diet Dr Pepper today. I haven't put it in the fridge yet. I have never been good with the aftertaste of artificial sweeteners, so I usually go for the regular stuff. Bu this was highly recommended elsewhere, and I can't seem to find Diet Cherry Coke here. I usually only drink tea and water, but get the occasional craving for something fizzy.
As for the full fat dressing, if it fits in your calories, and you prefer the taste, go for it. There are several vitamins which are fat soluble, and it can help that salad stick with you a bit longer. Although personally, I would use some cheese and meats to get the fat, and use a light dressing instead.
As for the OP, It doesn't look like she's revisited this thread since it's been bumped from August, so I'll leave that alone.0 -

You probably have an optimal oral environment - which is down to genetics. I'm the same way. Last time I went to the dentist (new one for me), they were all chipper about the condition of my teeth - strong, healthy, no signs of decay, X-rays great, yada.

I call Diet Mtn Dew "redneck mouthwash" because of my love for it and exceptional dental visits. Plus, that's basically what rednecks use it for. You know it's true.0 -
I just bought a case at costco

Um, it's in diet mountain dew.
They still plan on removing it:
"In January 2013 PepsiCo (while acknowledging that they "don't find a health and safety risk with BVO") announced that in response to consumer concerns they would discontinue the use of BVO in their Gatorade line of drinks. The company stated at the time they "had no plans to remove [BVO] from Mountain Dew and Diet Mountain Dew," but in May 2014 they reversed course and announced they were working to remove BVO from all their drinks, including Mountain Dew, Fanta and Powerade."0 -

No. That "documentary", and I use the term loosely, is a one sided, biased piece of junk. Even the "science" it uses is questionable. Not a good source of information.6
