    I just gave this article for people to read. Do with the information what you want. I'm not really phased.

    Diet colas have long been regarded as the dieter's friend - but one-calorie fizzy drinks may actually be the reason you can't shift that stubborn spare tyre.
    Some health experts now believe the chemicals in the drink could actually be causing your body to lay down fat deposits around your middle - dubbed 'diet cola belly' - reports Get The Gloss.
    And that's not all: some experts also believe diet cola’s mix of carbonated water, colourings and sweeteners such as aspartame and acesulfame K could also speed up the ageing process, and have disastrous health consequences.

    But seriously, how can people not know that the daily mail is a joke?

    I am trying to break the "loaded" pop habit because it has too much sugar and have never drank diet pop. You asked about my thoughts so I will tell you both types of pop are not good for the body because they have no nutritional value. Too many foods out there in this category!!!

    I like diet soda and regular soda is the most delicious thing in the world, but I do suspect that drinking a can of acid (the same with milk) isn't entirely good for our bodies...but I am no scientist.

    Diet coke does not make people fat and have more wrinkles. There's only one calorie in it. However, diet coke made me more hungry and I ended up eating more and gaining weight. I believe it also contains a lot of sodium, but I could be wrong.

    I drank diet coke like it was going out of style and it didn't give me more wrinkles either.

    We just cannot believe everything we read. :wink:

    Oh, edited to add: I love my diet root beer and Zevia diet cola. My issue is caffeine, so I believe it was the caffeine in the diet coke making me hungry not the artificial sweetener. I've lost my taste for diet coke anyway.

    How many do you drink in a day and how does something with 0 calories lay down fat deposits on your body.

    Calories aren't needed to be detrimental to your health

    So true. But calories are needed to gain weight.

    Not everything I eat and drink has to be for it's nutritional value. Sometimes I eat or drink something just because I like the taste.
