I just drank two of them and I'm starving now!!! Does that acid break down the food in my stomach more quickly?

    Are you sure you are hungry? Maybe you just need to drink some water.

    Why would I do that? I just drank two Coke Zeros. I'm not thirsty...

    Only water quenches your thirst. Everything else dehydrates you, beer is even worse than soda.

    There has been a lot on the news lately about diet sodas and their effect on people who drink them.

    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 thought that insulin was the body's delivery system for many nutrients, including proteins?

    And I need it for my caffeine delivery.

    Drink soda too quickly, belly fills up with the carbonation. Then ya burp, and you're suddenly not full anymore and you realize you're hungry! That's what happens to me, for realsies.

    The artificial sweeteners will mess with your liver enzymes, potentially leaving you even hungrier after just a short while and causing you to overeat in the end. Coke also contains caffeine, which will have a diuretic effect and make you thirsty sooner or later.
    I've also heard that a lot of people have reported being more thirsty after having soda? Don't know if that is founded though.

    Caffeine, except in high doses, is not a diuretic according to the Mayo Clinic.

    Perhaps it ate a hole in your stomach and all your food is now lying about in your abdomen? :laugh:

    Seriously though, I've had 2 today and could seriously go for a third. This time, Coke Zero Vanilla!

    That would make for excellent food storage! :laugh:

    See, I thought you were cool until you wanted Coke Zero Vanilla. Now you're dead to me.
