I'm surprised at how often a simple question turns into a mean spirited attack on our members.
The diet soda issue is not new. In fact my husband drinks copious amounts every day and he is a physical mess. Looks like a 9 month pregnant man. His health issues are many and having lacked nutritional education he sees no relationship to consuming chemical laden water instead of pure spring water, turns his nose up at the healthy food I make. Did I say he has become one rolling ball of a physical mess.
All you scientific clinical study lovers must have stumbled across reports that the body doesn't distinguish between the type of sugar consumed .... sugar is sugar ultimately whether white, chemical, or my personal choice xylitol. The body metabolizes it all the same. Capitol, my choice limited to 2 teaspoons a day, and made from birch sap benefits dental health and is the only sweetener permitted on the Lyme Inflammatory Diet. Thank goodness.
Inflammation is your body's enemy. Foods laced with chemicals, fake ingredients, bad fats cause inflammation and make you susceptible to colds, flu, cancer, infections and numerous diseases' including obesity and interfere with your ability to recover quickly from injury and illness.
Think of food as your body's most important medicine. If it's possible to scrap soda completely from your diet and drink at least 8 glasses of water daily you can start the eliminate all the toxins from chemical laced foods from your system. I wish you the best of luck.
I'd love to see the name of a single toxin that is eliminated from the body in this instance.0 -
That went well
You're so funny. I can always count on you to be in the middle of these with a comment. You're my equivalent to Michael eating his popcorn!
Regarding topic. I pretty much drink a few diet pops a day...down from 7, 8 9 a day. I'm happy with that. And, I'm losing weight.
It's back to whatever works for you...go for it!0 -
What bothers me most about this is not the fact that none of it is backed by scientific proof, which it isn't, but that it's the product not the person. When are we going to learn to give up the next fight against "insert chosen food demon here" and actually just take responsibility for our own health and behaviors? If it's not artificial sweeteners, it's sugar, fat, cholesterol, meat, not meat, not enough water, too much water...yada yada. It's our BEHAVIOR around what we put into our bodies.
It's not the diet coke, it's the ten a day behavior. It's not the cookies, it's the cookies for every meal behavior. We seem to have improperly bought into this societal idea that it's always "something else's" fault. It's not. I don't give a hoot about diet sodas because I don't like them, but if I wanted to drink them I would.
I think there are far greater things to dedicate my time and health to, beginning with my own mind/body/spirit and what that means for me and my responsibility to myself (but that's me, and hey...I'm not you). So, yes, I do think I know what I'm doing. Thanks for asking.0 -

I completely agree with you on this. However, we all have to understand that it is the mantra of Huffington Post and her followers to place the blame on someone else. If she preached personal responsibility she would lose all of her readers.0 -
LOL. I love when people talk about chemicals, all the while having absolutely no idea what a chemical is.I'm surprised at how often a simple question turns into a mean spirited attack on our members.

I don't see mean-spirited attacks. I see people giving the OP some sane, sensible advice.
Artificial sweeteners are probably not the cause of your husband being a physical mess - you say he turns his nose up at your "healthy" food, so I would wager that he has poor eating habits: he probably eats too much and possibly doesn't get his micronutrients and it's doubtful he moves enough. Blaming diet soda for all the ills in the world is misguided.
Eat a balanced diet, hit calorie/macro/micro goals. Drink a diet soda if it gets you through the day. Move more. And leave the scaremongering and scapegoating behind.0 -

Personally, not an attack on the members but a critical look at info and the author's position.
you are focusing on the wrong issue.The diet soda issue is not new. In fact my husband drinks copious amounts every day and he is a physical mess. Looks like a 9 month pregnant man. His health issues are many and having lacked nutritional education he sees no relationship to consuming chemical laden water instead of pure spring water, turns his nose up at the healthy food I make.

It isn't reports. It's basic science.
However xylitol isn't fructose or glucose. It isn't that these aren't different. It's that a once broken down to glucose - glucose is glucose.
Xylitol that you consume is mostly made from corncobs... and you also consume a lot of different sugars if you eat normal food.
BTW xylitol can be deadly to dogs. So much for sugars being the same.
Inflammation can be both good or bad - depends on context. It's the way the body rebuilds tissue damage and fights off infection. The rest of your paragraph here is ... just wrong.Inflammation is your body's enemy. Foods laced with chemicals, fake ingredients, bad fats cause inflammation and make you susceptible to colds, flu, cancer, infections and numerous diseases' including obesity and interfere with your ability to recover quickly from injury and illness.

Complains about mean spirited attacks.
Bashes the ever loving **** out of her own husband.
Wait... someone married her...? :huh:

I would say the one variable that we can depend on is her flaming her husband on a public forum in front of hundreds of strangers. #winning0 -
I've lost 70 lbs overall and kept it off for nearly 14 years. I drink diet soda pretty regularly. Diet soda doesn't seem to be the problem.
All the rum I pour in the diet soda might be an issue, but not so far.0 -
Because the Huffington Post is the place to get unbiased advice on nutrition.
:huh:
Here's a hint. The modern media captalizes on shock value. They find poorly done studies, generate headlines that incite an emotional reaction, and then generate speculation based on those poorly done studies. The reality is, journalists don't really know how to interpret studies, nor do they really care if they are interpretting them correctly.0 -
Mmmmm.... tasty tasty Coke Zero.0

This.
People see the word "toxin" and freak out. There's a reason it's used so heavily by the media and companies that want your money. It's a buzzword. Your kidneys have a job. Their job is to "get rid" of your "toxins." So I guess if you really wanted to "cleanse," you should research dialysis and donate your kidneys to someone who will actually use them.0 -
Here what happen when you drink a diet coke. So once you went to bed, the Splenda Fairy come and use her magical wand that create calories out of cosmic radiations.......This is totally what happen0
