Do not drink diet drinks!! Your taste buds register "sweet"! This causes your stomach to add in the enzymes needed to combat sugar. When there are no sugars to digest, your body then has to convert something else stored in your body into the sugar to rid the stomach of these enzymes. So not only did you get the cancerous effect of the fake sugars, but you just made a dose of sugar that exceeded the amount that you would have consumed in a "regular" form of your drink. If this happens with the sugars in diet drinks, my guess is it happens with many things we eat that contain "fake" sugars. The label says the lower calorie count, but your body has to deal with it in whatever form you give it. Our body was made to work with what it is given to process....and we are actually trying to fool our bodies, but we are really the fools in the end. Watch those fake sugars!!
