    5 minutes of Google gives plenty for a person to at review and ask some questions about. But we see what we want to see don't we? And do course it doesn't help that millions are spent by soda manufacturers with online tactics to make sure we feel comfortable and keep buying it.

    I chose to combine personal evidence of how my body has reacted with the thousands of reports of others on line and the dozens of ingredient studies to come to the conclusion that this stuff is really bad for me. You and the others coming into my support thread to insist that it's not are of course free to continue to drink up and blame the belly bloat and destroyed enamel on something else.

    I've been drinking diet soda for over twenty years. I've had zero issues with belly bloat and I just saw my dentist last month and they commented on how my enamel is actually thicker than their average patient. It's called maintaining proper dental hygiene, thank you very much.

    Again, if you don't want to drink diet soda, don't. But don't avoid it because you erroneously think it's evil or spread misinformation about it to others. Real simple.

    5 minutes on Google and I can find "the earth is flat" blogs......you really need to be more discriminating for your sources.

    Diet soda and joint pain? I've heard the rubbish before, but never seen any kind of data supporting it.

    OP - if YOU make an assertion on-line it's up to you to prove it. Your comments are not accepted as fact until someone else proves you wrong, that's not the way it works.

    Citrus fruit would destroy your tooth enamel too.....this is why people brush their teeth.

    I'm planning on getting away from pop again within the next month or so. I went months without drinking it a while ago. I will say that I felt better when I wasn't drinking it. I don't think I was as hungry and I felt like I had more energy.

    I drank a lot more tea to kick the cravings. There are some flavored and herbal teas that I don't even need to use any sweetener in at all. Berry teas tend to be naturally sweet, so they're a good option.

    I don't know if diet pop is necessarily bad for you or not. I just prefer not to drink so much of it. The acid bothers my stomach and I don't like having a caffeine addiction. At the very least, drinking more water and/or tea helps my skin look better.

    Good luck not going for the diet soda. Been drinking it for over 40 years, but for me, it was never the cause for me to gain or lose weight.
