Diet Sodas?

Confuzzled4ever

Diet soda is not healthy.
In my opinion they don't taste good either.
Empty calories, and soduim thats all they give you.
they actually make you more thirsty and your body doesn't get anything from them.

Love the sparkeling water with some juice added idea. I just drink water and coffee. but if you like sode that sounds like a good alternative

yes, all soda is bad for you - diet or not, i think everyone knows that by now, but once in a while i like one for a small change of flavor and if i have it, it's Coke Zero. Best taste out of all imo.

Growing evidence shows that Aspartame is just awful for you in many ways, just as NutraSweet was before it, and saccharine before that.

Aspartame is broken down into a phenylalanine and aspartic acid. These are amino acids that are found in chicken breasts and fruit juices/fruit. Methanol is a digestive byproduct of aspartame and methanol converts to formaldehyde which then converts to formic acid which is metabolized further and excreted.

If you don't have PKU, and you don't get headaches from aspartame, then I don't yet see any reason to become alarmed about relatively "human" consumption levels of aspartame.

When you look at the majority of research on aspartame in humans and at normal doses there's little to be alarmed about. If you are a rat and you're being injected with ridiculous amounts of it, you might have issues.

Diet Cherry Coke and Pepsi Max are my go-to drinks for when I want something sweet. It keeps me away from the dark chocolate covered caramels with sea salt, and the peanut butter cup ice cream in the freezer.

sorry, but diet sodas are NOT healthy for you.

While that's true, it can help some people stick to their sugar and calorie limits easier.

I'm skipping sodas right now but diet sprite and diet a&w rootbeer are pretty good. less of an aftertaste than some others

Diet Dew is my favorite.... but i also really like diet dew - code red, Diet A&W rootbeer, Diet Dr. Pepper

I LOVED MY DIET PESPSI TOO BUT IT HASNT BEEN MY HARDEST ADDICTION TO KICK. IN REPLACE I DRINK CANADA DRY SPARKLING WATER IT GIVES ME THE CARBINATION I NEED AND HAS NO ADDED SWEETNER.

You don't need caffeine unless you are an addict

Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi is my fave... Diet Pepsi if they dont have that.

Drink water, coffee(black) or tea(unsweetened). The body will crave sugar even if it is fake sugar. try it for 21 days and see if it works.

im sure that this person doesnt need or want a lecture on how bad diet soda is for them. soda is bad for you diet is worse because of the sweetners (if you can call them that) that they are using. I suggest if you want caffine and some flavor to look into tea great for an on the go situation all you need is hot water cup and tea. otherwise try making your own flavored drinks i like a lemon juice stevia or honey with water that i do. There isnt any caffeine in that though so. i hope that is helpful have a great day ^_^

for everyone that is say it is bad for you, how is it bad for you? do you got evidence to support that claim?

I hate Diet Coke as well but I like Diet Pepsi. I also like Fresca if they even make that anymore - it's a very refreshing taste.

Yep Diet Pepsi for me too.

I love old fashioned drinks out of a bottle. like those cream sodas and root beers and whatnot. oh and cheerwine, the diet versions of these drinks are very good

There's some rat studies using doses that do not even remotely approximate human consumption in dose or delivery method (injection vs ingestion). There is a recent study showing bad stuff in humans but it was an obsevational study using FFQs to estimate intake.

I'm not on a diet soda promotion board or anything like that, I just think people are going way overboard with claims of toxicity or cancer or "diet soda is horrible because it's a chemical" etc.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows diet soda is bad for you, but jeez it's not a big deal to have one every once and awhile. At least it isn't cocaine, alcohol, or a baconator! I'm perfectly fine and I probably have one 1-2 times a week.

I hate diet coke, but diet dr. pepper, pepsi max, and diet wild cherry pepsi is good. Then there is diet sprite..I mostly stick to diet dr. pepper when I have a soda though.

You don't need caffeine unless you are an addict, that is not a healthy state of affairs if so.

Agree! I gave up pop all together for the new year, plain water for me now
