    IMO, Zero is better than diet, but pepsi max is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more delicious than everything!

    I do not like Coke Zero but I like Cherry Coke Zero. Otherwise, I drink Diet Coke.

    Many people use artificial sweeteners to cut their caloric intake, but the very opposite effect can occur. New research shows that artificial sweeteners stimulate taste receptors that sense sweetness in both the esophagus and stomach. Anticipating energy, the pancreas releases insulin, an important hormone for accumulating body fat. At the same time, chemicals are sent to the brain’s satiety center, which becomes confused as to whether or not the body is actually receiving calories. The result? You feel even hungrier and less full, which can lead to weight gain.

    I highly recommend watching the documentary "Sweet Misery" if you are at all concerned about the possible effects of aritficial sweeteners. I dont think I have used anything but Stevia/Truvia after watching this documentary

    I'm a little bit addicted to coke zero but am currently trying to cut it out or at least consume less, both because I don't think it's great for you and because of the cost. Water is free

    I think you should try Pepsi Max. It's sweeter and probably less diet-y (idk, I grew up on diet). Worth a try though. There's also that Dr. Pepper 10.

    I have Diet Coke now because it was on sale. :tongue:

    I love just plain Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. Before I switched to diet I was Classic Coke only, but once I went to diet I really don't care. And I cut waaaay down on how much I'm drinking.

    And this...
    You should try the flavored water from walmart! Its carbonated, so you get the pop craving you want and they have amazing flavors!

    My current favorites are Cranberry Grape, Mandarin Orange and White Grape.

    Neither. After extensive polling of the judges table that resides on my taste buds, the results are in:

    Love me some Coke Zero. I actually don't drink soda much at all, but when I do it usually that or a Cherry Coke Zero.

    If I have a pop, I usually splurge and have a sugary one because I don't like the diet aftertaste. When it comes to diet pops (or sugar pops even) I DEFINITELY prefer diet pepsi. I find diet coke to be revolting; HOWEVER, when it is partially watered down fountain pop, I can tolerate diet coke. I once had coke zero thinking that there was no difference in the taste. Boy was I wrong. Coke Zero is 10 times worse than Diet Coke, IMO. Ick!

    Coke Zero gets my vote. Caffeine is awesome, calorie free caffeine is even better...plus I'd rather die than ever have to consume plain water.

    After quite a bit of research on the web I have found numerous studies...some televised on shows like "60 minutes" and "Dr.Oz" that support the claim that sugar does in fact cause inflamation. There is little research to back up that artificial sweeteners do the same but there seem to be a lot of people who suspect that it may have the same effect as sugar if not worse.

    But it appears you are right Rebecca...at least from what I have found.

    Sugar in of itself doesn't cause inflammation. Your blog link agrees with me, and notice they use words like"may" and "suggest". Just like ANYTHING, High/Excessive amounts causes a negative response from the body which has been wrapped into this new word, "Inflammation" that all the cool health kids use. If you drink too much water your body will elicit a negative response, including hyponatremia.

    And it's not the sugar, is the constant flooding your body with sugars as in carbs (breads, cereals, grains, oats, pastas, etc), which essentially overload your pancreas and when you pancreas essentially breaks (diabetes) and you can't process the crap you keep shoving down your throat over and over again, then you have made your body ripe for "inflammation" aka anything negative that starts to happen. And this so called, "inflammation" is usually due to not just sugar but an over all sedentary, unhealthy life style. 1 straight up HFC coke a day is going to do anything to a person living a balanced life style in terms of health and wellness. They pancreas will do its job and it will process the sugar, store the glycogen in their muscles which they will then use up exercising.
