It's fatal if you try to breathe it.0 -
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 NATURAL0 -
Assuming you stay within your calorie limits, it shouldn't slow down weight loss. One problem is that people tend to overeat when they drink it due to the fact that they think they can eat more (which technically you can, but they go overboard and eat a lot more), and that it leaves a lingering sweetness on your tongue that can make you crave more food. But the problem isn't really the product itself.
I don't think it's good for the body, though, just like most artificial sweeteners and refined sugar.0 -
It eats away the enamel on your teeth unfortunately. I still drink it like crazy though!
Edit: spelling0 -
Fat loss - no
Weight loss and appearance - yes but only because carbonation can cause bloating in some people and the sodium content can cause temporary water retention which shows up on the scale...0 -
Phosphoric acid -may- be linked to bone density loss. Aside from that, 'sall good.0

It's fatal if you try to breathe it.
its also uncomfortable if you try to snort it.0 -
Here's a good article that shows scientific studies done from both sides of the diet soda argument. For me, since its still under debate, I avoid.

Beyond your original question a bit... I find when I drink/eat foods with artificial sweeteners I get a craving for simple carbs same as if I'd eaten straight up simple carbs. So for me it's not something I choose to mess with. I'd rather have a cookie than drink diet pop! :smokin:0 -

Yes. It's terrible for you. If you drink it, your insides will rust, and eventually, you will implode. Ask the millions of diet coke drinkers on the planet. They'll tell you.0

I watched a though provoking video yesterday about artificial sweetners...
http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/should-you-give-artificial-sweeteners
He talks about how your body releases insulin, how your brain's addiction centers are activated, but how your body recognizes it is not real sugar and continues to crave more. Possible results are metabilic syndrome, insulin resistance, etc.
Not saying don't drink Diet Coke, I firmly believe everything on moderation. Just gives you something to consider.0 -
I heard from the health clinic that diet soda is not good for your bones. It causes Osteoperosis!0
-
I read somewhere that it does something to the brain to make you crave sweets.0

Forget weight loss, yes it is bad for you it's full of rubbish.0

20 + years of drinking it and I'm not dead yet. If it's killing me, it's not very efficient at it. :drinker:0
