Dear Diet Pepsi,

I will always love you.
I know others hate. They call you artificial, say you're not natural. But I love you anyway.
You've been with me through ups and downs, a true friend. I will never let you go.
Let the haters hate. You'll always have me.
:heart:

    I don't want to love Sofia, but she's just too damn lovable.

    I like Diet Pepsi, but prefer Diet Dew or Diet Dr Pepper.

    But... Diet Code Red is... :love:

    I am a huge fan of diet coke. Non-diet has always tasted way too sweet and syrupy for me.

    However, I am now not allowed to drink caffeine... for awhile at least and maybe forever!

    Goodbye diet coke.
    Goodbye coffee and tea.
    Goodbye happiness.

    Beer gets plenty of love. I NEVER see threads bashing beer. Everyone loves it.

    I used to drink it a bunch and I still like the sweetness.

    However, I tried replacing the sugar in my diet with artificial sweetener a few weeks ago and I noticed that I was eating more and not losing weight. I have seen studies that say people who consume artificial sweetener tend to eat more.

    The body appears to compensate by the decreased intake of sugars by learning to eat more other things.

    Here's a summary from the 2005 University of Texas Study

    Fowler's team looked at seven to eight years of data on 1,550 Mexican-American and non-Hispanic white Americans aged 25 to 64. Of the 622 study participants who were of normal weight at the beginning of the study, about a third became overweight or obese.

    For regular soft-drink drinkers, the risk of becoming overweight or obese was:

    26% for up to 1/2 can each day
    30.4% for 1/2 to one can each day
    32.8% for 1 to 2 cans each day
    47.2% for more than 2 cans each day.
    For diet soft-drink drinkers, the risk of becoming overweight or obese was:

    36.5% for up to 1/2 can each day
    37.5% for 1/2 to one can each day
    54.5% for 1 to 2 cans each day
    57.1% for more than 2 cans each day.
    For each can of diet soft drink consumed each day, a person's risk of obesity went up 41%.

    It's not clear why this happens in humans.

    In a 2008 study with rats:

    "We found that reducing the correlation between sweet taste and the caloric content of foods using artificial sweeteners in rats resulted in increased caloric intake, increased body weight, and increased adiposity, as well as diminished caloric compensation and blunted thermic responses to sweet-tasting diets. These results suggest that consumption of products containing artificial sweeteners may lead to increased body weight and obesity by interfering with fundamental homeostatic, physiological processes. "
