    I drink diet soda every day, and I'm a) losing weight and b) not dead.

    Exactly, same thing here. I have a can of Diet Coke in the morning and maybe some with lunch. Outside of that I drink water. Diet Coke hasn't killed me yet.

    Cancer takes a long time to kill you.

    Two totally different things! Who says diet pop causes cancer?

    The studies out there on diet pop haven't proven anything really. Just because rats eat more after drinking it doesn't mean humans will.

    I drink diet pop everyday almost. It's not that bad for you.

    For the poster who mentioned don't drink pop because of the sodium, depending on the type and brand a can of diet pop has between 20-40 mg of sodium... not a whole lot.

    I cut out soda entirely about ..... I dunno 3-4 weeks ago due to cost reasons (water is cheap, soda is not). I drink a lot of tea now, since I drink well water and it tastes weird just out of the pump. Sweet tea will help with the craving for sweet drinks, and give you some caffeine. If you want to buy diet tea mix, that's good too.

    Also, if you drink less soda the ones you have will taste better. I picked up a diet dew the other day (I had to be at work early and I don't process coffee well) and it tasted better for my not having drank any for a few weeks.

    i kicked the soda/caffeine habit by switching to flavored sparkling water. Walmart carries many great flavors. It does use artificial sweeteners, but after a while, I have been able to even give these up for just water with lemon.... sometimes baby steps can get you to the goal line. :)

    Probably not the best for your body, but I do love some Sugar-Free Red Bull (8oz - 10 cals). It's expensive though, so I usually stick with a cup of black coffee which is free at my office. For me, coffee is like beer... don't like the taste but I do enjoy the effects! :drinker:
