chellie346

someone commented on one of my posts about diet cokes and them not being good for, what's your view and are you for or against?

For, totally.


Diet coke does not make you fat, hinder weight loss etc. Eating too may calories does that.

There is no solid evidence of Aspartame being "harmful" in moderate amounts. It's a great way of saving calories, and works like a charm for me. Scaremongers gonna .... well, scare, tbh.

I like Dr. Pepper so I started drinking Diet Dr. Pepper. I really like it! So I tried the Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper and love it. It sure does keep me away from Sonic's Rt 44 Cherry Cokes that have about 1M calories!! As with anything, moderation is key, and make sure you are drinking more water than soda.

Coke Zero is okay, had one of those recently when the Dr. Pepper was unavailable.

As everything else....in moderation...I do drink a diet soda here and there, however my MAIN liquid intake should be and is just plain water!

i was wondering the same thing! i know it contains chemicals that are harmful to your body.... or at least that's what i am told. But i drink a few cups a week.

I used to drink a ton of diet coke and always felt sluggish.. As soon as I gave up fake sweetners I instantly started feeling healthier and more energetic... Lab made stuff that in large doses can slowly poison you shouldn't be consumed very often at all but that is just my opinion. As always I say live and let live

Why should it be plain water? I never drink plain water, and I've never felt stronger, fitter, better. I get my water from plenty of other sources, which is all that matters.

I drink Diet coke with splenda.

Love 'em! But, I did have to cut back. My problem is with the acid. Was giving me problems with my esophagus.

Totally for...

I used to be dead set against soda pop in general, but it's been a godsend to me.... I love the different flavors, they help satisfy cravings without adding calories and the weight loss I've achieved more than offsets any possible health risks associated with pop.

Also, for my own experience, drinking a half can of pop BEFORE I eat, makes me feel fuller faster and I don't miss the larger portions

Shows you had an adverse reaction to it then. Most of us don't get said adverse reaction. Large does...i.e. far more than we could actually manage to consume. Poison is a strong word.

I think it depends on how much you drink! If you're drinking more diet soda than water, I don't think it's good for you.

I don't think that it hinder weight loss, but have you ever seen the video of someone pouring diet soda on a rusty car battery to erode the rust!? Imagine what that's doing to your stomach!!!

Soda -- diet or not,leaves me bloated and feeling sick!

I don't drink it because I don't like it. If I liked it, I would.

i drink a diet dr. pepper, diet cocke or fresca about twice a week. 99% of my liquid is water. I think if done in moderation, anything is OK.

Against, personally I cut all pop out. I will sip on ginger ale when I'm sick, but that's about it.

I'm for them. I even have an "I Diet Coke" t-shirt.

The only reason to avoid diet soda would be if you have a bad reaction or if you are one of those people that gets cravings from artificial sweeteners. If you don't have those problems, enjoy it!

I don't like Diet Coke, either. But I love Diet Dr Pepper.

Technically speaking there isn't any nutrition in it other than water so it isn't good for you there and depending on your views of man-made chemicals it may or may not hurt you. I used to be a Pepsi addict and my wife was a diet Coke addict. When we finally gave those up all our heartburn went away. We used to go through a big bottle of antacid a month. Latest bottle has been in the cabinet for 4 months and still over half full. I have one vice left I refuse to give up on and that is my coffee with real heavy cream in it. Everybody should have one fairly safe vice, if diet coke is your one vice hang onto it. If you think you can live without it, give it a try. Build an eating habit you can live with for the rest of your life.
