Nope you gonna die. :flowerforyou:0 -
I agree that diet soda is not "good" for you. But for me, it is helpful sometimes. So that's why I won't be giving it up. Some people may need to give it up....I don't doubt it can cause problems. And yeah, I do also think artificial sweeteners are not good.0

Oh yeah, lets give a BLOG a cute little important sounding name and every one believe it. RME
Funny thing is, most people refuse to believe all that crap is bad for you until something bad happens to them.
I have an auto immune disease, if I drink a diet soda my pain levels go from a 3 to an 8. No one can convince me that that crap is not bad for you when it gives me pain.
But of course if all you people are worried about is the way you look, carry on.
My daughter has a dairy intolerance. If she has dairy it causes her pain/she gets sick. That doesn't mean dairy is bad. Just because diet soda effects you negatively doesn't mean that it's bad, or that everyone has negative effects from it. I drink a lot of diet soda and I've never had any problems with it and I'm very healthy/no problems or health conditions at all. If drinking diet soda has a negative effect on you then sure, don't drink it. But don't project that onto other people who have no problems with it. That would be like my daughter telling everyone they shouldn't consume dairy anymore, because of how it affects her. Doesn't make sense.0 -
Why would I take advice from a dog?!
LMAO! This just made my morning.0 -
NO.
Not even one of those "reasons" is valid.0 -

That 'blog' actually refers to, and links studies, which is more than the one in the OP does. You may want to look at these 'blogs' more carefully before you dismiss them.
You have an auto immune disease. Most other people do not. It does not counteract the 'blog'. Some people get a headache with cheese - does not mean it is harmful.
Also, please do not assume things about people. The 'you people' comment is ridiculous. Stop projecting.0 -

I'm fairly certain that the fizzy part is messing with my tooth enamel and the brown coloring stains them. Plus, it would be a lot better for the environment and my finances if I stopped. But, I'm an addict.0

I gave up soda before Thanksgiving because I have ridiculously sensitive teeth and am very prone to enamel loss. I also tend to take forever to drink a soda, so it seemed like a good move. Other than headaches and crankiness the first few days from lack of caffeine, I feel exactly the same now as I did when I was drinking it.0

I will keep drinking my diet soda. :drinker:
Me too. EVERYTHING is bad for you at some point so choose your poisons. Diet soda has never been a problem for me so why give it up?0 -
Lol at correlation between children and headaches....0
-
Haven't had any of those symptoms from Diet Coke; in fact, it used to help my child-induced (fatigue) headaches. I must be a special snowflake. :flowerforyou:

When I was at a very low point in my life, I heard that drinking diet soda can kill you. I decided that was the answer. Sadly, I'm still here.

I don't drink sodas period. They are all bad for our bodies, regular and diet.0

It's a very good blog, actually.
Would you prefer to see peer reviewed evidence?Funny thing is, most people refuse to believe all that crap is bad for you until something bad happens to them.

If I have an allergy to peanuts, peanuts can be very very bad for me. This doesn't mean peanuts are bad for everyone.But of course if all you people are worried about is the way you look, carry on.
I care about health and performance more than appearance.
It sounds like diet soda causes you some problems. That doesn't mean diet soda is universally harmful.

QFT!!! All of this!! and I have type 2 diabetes, I consume 2 to 3 bottle of diet pepsi a day, never has it made me crave sweets, I have lost a couple pounds while drinking it, and I get clean bill of health checkups from my doctor and blood work every 4 months including A1c averaging 5.3-5.40 -
I had given up diet soda a little two years ago and I have not looked back.0

yes but you have a disease. just because it hurts you with your disease doesn't mean that it's bad for everyone else who dont have that disease.
i mean c'mon by your logic doing cardio workouts or any workouts that raise your heart rate are bad for everyone just because people with cogenital heart issues can't do it.0 -

Having a mildly acidic drink touch your teeth for a few seconds a day is not going to ruin them.
Also, there is no such thing as food (or pop) addiction.0 -
For me its moderation and timing. If I drink it before I go for a run it messes me up for some reason. It is also a migraine trigger for me. I do drink it when I am not going to have an adverse response to it.0

Sorry. I gave up CNN.0

Correlation does not imply causation.
I will repeat: Correlation does NOT imply causation. Whenever I see things like this, easily half of the list falls victim to the idea that because x and y are correlated, x must cause y. No.0 -

This reeks of Broscience of the highest order.0
