    I feel that diet soda is bad for me because it tastes like *kitten*. That, and it doesn't go well with Jack.

    Doesn't go well with rum either

    Or Tequila... Plus it tastes like *kitten*.

    How do all you people know what *kitten* tastes like anyway?

    I'm not that into soda, but I have a diet cherry coke about once every few months, they're pretty good. I was going to buy one today but decided to get a diet sprite instead--they're awesome! Tastes just like regular sprite. I wouldn't make it a habit of drinking diet soda daily because they're still very high in sugar.

    uh ... diet soda doesn't have sugar.

    When I was pregnant I craved diet Coke mixed with soda water with plenty ice (think a cinema diet coke).

    All the rest of the time I drink Sugar Free Irn Bru or normal Irn Bru (kicks Coke/Pepsi's *kitten* IMO). Probably about 1 glass a week. I prefer plain water, cordial or wine!

    My own personal experience is that I can't tolerate anything with aspartame in it. I was addicted to Crystal Light and suffered from all sorts of delightful things - hot flashes, digestive issues, headaches, lethargy - I've been off of it now for about 1.5 years and it's made a HUGE difference. But that's just me.

    I think it is evil.
    Though I think most things with fake sugar are evil.

    i figure i made so many great healthy changes in my life why would i continue to drink chemicals. to each their own. i know many elders who still smoke and never get cancer, just as there are 30 somethings fighting it. all our bodies are different, my philosophy is why chance it.

    Well said!!

    I enjoy diet 7up because it looks how it tastes. I drink diet Coke and contrasting the taste with the appearance creates the illusion of something being seriously afoul. Either way, I prefer juice or water.

    Not giving it up, studies are done at ridiculously high levels of ingredients that just do not represent true intake in humans.

    Diet Pepsi & I are good buds.
    Sometimes that's all I have for breakfast(all I have time for)
    So I'm kinda in love with diet soda. I've actually grown to dislike regular. too sweet.

    I hate diet drinks but I love Coke Zero....I know there is a lot of controversy about artificial sweeteners but I love it anyway. I am sure if the truth was known you could find controversy in a lot of what people eat including medications. So, drink up and enjoy~ :drinker:

    I beg to differ. Jack and Diet is one is my staples. Unless there is none around and then it's Jack and Water.

    Diet soda is my one true love and the one "food" (I see it as a snack, it feeds my need for sweets) that I don't have to feel guilty about. I crave carbs and eat a lot more food when I don't drink soda.

    I'm still cutting back on it and drinking iced green tea too, since my stomach seems flatter when I drink less soda... :grumble: (don't like admitting this!)

    Haven't drank any in 4 months. ^.^
    I don't think i could drink it now without my stomach being upset. The only think i drink lots of is water.

    They have no sugar. That's why they are diet.

    diet soda= EVIL... fake sugar= EVIL. you drank soda because you craved sugar, diet soda and fake sugars coat your tongue and actually make you crave MORE sugar and since you didn't get the sugar you were craving when you had a soda you're more likely to go eat ie a candy bar to get that sugar you were actually craving

    I love Sprite Zero, and wish they still made Diet Fanta here in NZ. I know they aren't the healthiest choice and I do drink my water, but I like my diet soft drinks, and they make for lower calorie choices when I go out and want something alcoholic to drink.

    I drink it occasionally.. only about 5 times a year.. I used to drink tons of it. I think it is unhealthy as a general rule but once in a while won't kill you. Most of the time if I want something fizzy i drink sparkling water with lemon

    maybe you are. I'm not. and even if I was, I have self control. personal responsibility. it's a thing.

    (and I had a candy bar yesterday. still finished under calories.)
