    "Epidemiologists from the School of Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio reported data showing that diet soft drink consumption is associated with increased waist circumference in humans, and a second study that found aspartame raised fasting glucose (blood sugar) in diabetes-prone mice."

    Absolutely! One of the first lessons in science is the correlation does not necessarily translate into causality. Take a look at the stats on LDL (bad) cholesterol and see what the correlation coefficient is. You'd never spend another $10 for a pill of Lipitor in your life unless you had suffered a heart attack. Beware junk science especially from scientists!

    Very bad. It eats up your insides... Have you ever put a steak in a bowl of coke? That coke will tear it up. GROSS.

    The acid in your stomach breaks down steak even faster!

    I used to drink 12+ cans a day...once I stopped, I lost 10lbs. instantly. I have read that it makes you keep belly fat and that it makes you crave sugar. I went cold turkey and have felt so much better for quitting. I would stop now, if you can!! Good Luck!! ps. not wanting to broadcast my age, but I started with TAB...so I am hardcore!! hahaha!!

    I drink diet coke, but only when I feel the need for the caffeine. I usually stick with water just because Diet contains Sodium and I'm trying to limit the Sodium (I've been crazy overboard with the Sodium train) but my mother has drank diet coke for almost her entire life, in mass amounts, and she's been able to lose 80 pounds with it still. That and I've never read about anything being bad about sooooo. Drink up. Cheers! :)

    there are about 25 mg of sodium in soda. that's, what, 1 percent of your daily limit? I think you're good on the sodium front if you have a coke.

    (that and sodium doesn't really matter for the vast majority of the population when it comes to either health or weight loss.)

    Aspartame has serious health effects. It is basically like taking low doses of rubbing alcohol.

    Perhaps you should brush up on your research. Even the American Cancer Society has debunked this.

    "Aside from the possible effects in people with phenylketonuria, there are no health problems that have been consistently linked to aspartame use." (http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/CancerCauses/OtherCarcinogens/AtHome/aspartame)
