    That's a good point. People love to say soda is terrible for you because it dissolves all these things while cleaning or whatever, but they conveniently seem to ignore the THOUSANDS of commercial and industrial strength cleaners that are based on lemons and oranges.

    Heck, plain water is actually an industrial degreaser.

    Diet coke is "meh" for you. It may not deter you from losing weight but it's still unhealthy. So are most fruit juices...and milk(fat, sugar)...and alcohol. Water is best. I still have a Fresca every now and then but definitely not everyday.

    Low doses of ethanol prevent harm from methanol from smoking and
    aspartame, which otherwise the human body always quickly turns into
    formaldehyde via the ADH enzyme inside the cells of blood vessels and
    many tissues: Rich Murray 2010.02.26

    This is inevitably a co-factor in many diseases of civilization since
    1800, ranging from heart disease to Alzheimers to cancers to birth
    defects like spina bifida and autism, which all have been increasing
    rapidly since the approval of aspartame in 1981.

    Prof. Woodrow C. Monte (Nutrition, Arizona State University, retired)
    sent Chapter 12, Autism and Other Birth Defects, to EFSA in early
    Novmber 2011, with a hundred mainstream scientific references,
    available free as online full texts, in his comprehensive review
    "While Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills", with 740 references
    published January 1 2012.

    His book is now available as an Kindle electronic book,
    $ 9.80 download, readable on any computer via free software,

    Honestly, both are bad for you.....anything but water is bad for you. In fact, water is sometimes bad for you to if it comes from tap.

    Do you seriously believe this???
    yes i do, have you tested yoru tap water lately?

    Coke works for cleaning bc it is acidic. It is acidic bc when carbon dioxide mixes with water it ionizes which turns into carbonic acid. It is however no more acidic than a lemon or orange.

    Love it! Haha, I have a test on acids/chemical equations this Wednesday. I need all the extra help I can get! :P

    Are you referring to the trace amounts of harmful chemicals in tap water? According to my physical science teacher almost all water has tiny tiny tiny amounts of cyanide and radio active...something like that. BUT it's so minute that it doesn't have any harmful effect on you what so ever.

    I have a friend who is a personal trainer. He told me that I shouldn't drink diet soda. I joked with him that there was no way I was giving up my diet pepsi and he said, "You'd stop if I told you what was in it." That kind of makes me wonder. lol

    Wanna know what's in diet soda? Read the ingredients label. Mystery solved.

    Personal trainers aren't qualified to talk about food or nutrition, any more than any other person on the planet. There is no formal nutrition training for personal training, so odds are, your trainer friend is just going to parrot a bunch of false, inflammatory statements he picked up from some web site. Read the labels, do some real, peer reviewed research, and make your decision.

    Personally, I haven't found any peer reviewed research to say that occasional diet soda consumption is harmful in any way.
