    I am a holistic nutritionist. I won't pick up a medical journal.

    While I understand holistic nutrition I'd rather trust my information from a study and scientific proof.

    I can't STAND lazy people. I said if you DOUBT it or need additional information to GOOGLE. Yet you ask ME to produce "research". What am I. . .your slave? So I took a minute to Google like I asked YOU to do if you needed more info. here is a *kitten* link.

    If you are unaware of the rules of debate, when someone makes a claim, BURDEN OF PROOF is on the person to provide it. It's not up to people who question it to "look it up". If you state it, then provide proof for it, or it's just hearsay, anecdotal, etc.

    Ive read and heard that drinking diet is actually worse for you then if you would have drank a regular soda. I pretty much stick with water so I don't know how it effects your weight loss.

    Because you don't believe in medicine? Or because it defies some "holistic" approaches with actual science?

    Yes, everyone has candida in their bodies. It feeds on sugar, fake sugar, carbs and many other foods. When men get that "beer belly" and women get "bloat" it is from an overgrowth of candida. It's called, "beer belly" bc beer has yeast which also causes over growth. We all have it. Google and read, I don't want to be an educator here.
    I've Googled and read several times about this and what you're claiming is pretty much 99% untrue.

    If this girl does not get a Diet Mtn Dew or Diet Dr Pepper on occassion, some one will get hurt. The caffeine withdrawal is likely giving you headaches. Don't quit it cold turkey. Figure out how much you are drinking and start cutting back. IF you want. I had a hard time at first, but mostly drink water or Crystal Light now.

    after having type one diabetes for 28 years, that is ALL I can drink so I know every flavor. My faves are diet Dr. Pepper, Diet Mountain Dew and A&W Diet Root Beer. YUM! And if they caused cancer I think I'd be dead by now! lol.......

    Moderation in all things. Diet soda has little or no calories. It's basically flavored, carbonated water. I think the bigger issue is the artificial sweetener, a long and controversial subject that you will get 50 different opinions on. I drink diet Coke once in a great while. It's cold, it's wet, and it tastes good. If caffeine is causing your problems, get the uncaffeinated stuff.

    And there it is.

    I will not ever listen to a bit of advice you offer, then.

    Don't worry, they might be a nutritionist, but they don't want to be an educator.

    due to supply and demand I'm going to recommend everyone stop drinking it. It WILL make you fat

    How will diet pop make you fat?

    Trust me, it's science

    Sure...

    Nothing wrong with drinking diet pop.

    Look I'm no food additive engineer... But I believe the chemicals just get stuck in your body and they make you fat

    Yup.. that's exactly how it works.

    Doesn't matter how many calories you eat, how much exercise you do but instead it's the chemicals...

    Functioning organs take care of any issues.


    For someone who is as adept as you are at using sarcasm, I would have expected you to be able to recognize it too.

    Jof!!! you just had to kill the fun did you.

    It's what I do.

    I lost all of my weight without even cutting back. I drink about 48 oz. of Coke Zero or Diet Dr Pepper plus about 48 oz. of Crystal Light every day.

    I drink one 20oz diet soda each day. I don't drink coffee so it is my pick me up. I don't where people get that there is so much sodium in diet drinks. Diet coke has 70mg of sodium for a 20oz bottle that takes me 4 to 5 hours to drink. Some people need to actually look at the information on the backs of the bottles lol. It hasn't effected my weightloss negatively. I am at at goal and have been maintaining for a year. As far as bloating goes. I don't have that problem because the rest of the time I drink water.
