    From that link:

    "What is the link between Dihydrogen Monoxide and school violence?

    A recent stunning revelation is that in every single instance of violence in our country's schools, including infamous shootings in high schools in Denver and Arkansas, Dihydrogen Monoxide was involved. In fact, DHMO is often very available to students of all ages within the assumed safe confines of school buildings. None of the school administrators with which we spoke could say for certain how much of the substance is in use within their very hallways."

    Errmm, what were we saying about causation and correlation?

    I'm sure there was water at each of those incidents, and chocolate and other stuff. Hardly proves it was responsible!

    That was exactly the point being made about aspartame. There is exactly ZERO causative evidence of any of the claims of aspartame's evilness in this thread.

    Is Diet Coke bad for the body? Does it slow down weight loss?

    In moderation... it won't hurt you. it's def. not good for you. regular coke isn't all that great, either.

    It's quite sad how many people are so very gullable and believe everything they read on the damn Internet. Sad.

    Does it have any man made chemicals in it? Did it come from the ground or used to be alive? Then ya its probably bad for you. Am I purist no...I love Chemicals.

    Everyone needs to pound a package of Oreos every once in a while right?

    but ya unnatural stuff not good for you. Its kind of easy really....The word unnatural? Ya its UN NATURAL

    You don't know what you're talking about here. Just because it's not "Natural" doesn't mean it's bad. After all, nature isn't designed around our existence. Nature doesn't have to tailor it's products to best suit us. Whereas the stuff we develop, the stuff we research and make for ourselves? That is more likely to be appropriately suited for us, as we know our bodies and needs better than random plants and animals do.

    I'm not saying that all man made things are the best options always, just that the argument that 'natural is better always' is heavily flawed.

    This topic has been debated to death by almost everyone. My opinion (and my opinion ONLY... not science based for all you trolls getting ready to jump down my throat): there's no "proof" that Diet Coke is bad for the body... but there IS proof that it's not GOOD for it.

    Put stuff in your body that is PROVEN to do good for the body, and you will feel amazing. Look at Diet Coke as a once in a while treat, not a go-around to being able to drink soft drinks during a "diet".

    Well I apologise then. Written text doesn't always carry sarcasm or irony well.

    Hmmm some studies say that it results in nervous system problems....

    I don't touch it.

    I'm not familiar with nervous system issues -- do you have any links to those studies?

    Thanks!

    I would appreciate that as well! A couple years ago in my food chemistry class, we were taught that there weren't any substantiated studies that showed significant problems with aspartame in humans, but I'm certainly interested to see what the latest research says. I've never heard of this.

    As with all these blanket statements....please provide references to the scientific literature. I would like to read the original research reports on how Diet Coke is bad for me.

    I don't know about diet coke but coke zero is exclusively responsible for the good things in my life but only if i drink it when it's (the drink) very cold and i'm very thirsty.
