Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's true

If you're that concerned, drink tea instead.
Diet soda isn't bad for you, btw. The internet is full of a lot of fear mongering and nonsensical garbage.
Amusingly, the oxalates in black tea make many people more prone to kidney stones.0 -

I prefer a black tea & diet soda cocktail with a dash of HFCS. What can I say, I like to live dangerously.0 -
I suggest Diet Dr Pepper as an alternative to Diet Coke. Coke Zero is also especially nice.0

My advice - drop all of them. This is what I did. The difference I got was that while drinking Coke Zero, working out and following my calorie intake - I didn't lose. The moment I dropped it, without changing anything else (well two weeks after that), I started shredding inches.
Physically impossible. Diet soda does not in any way modulate your body's metabolism and does not affect weight loss.I'm quite sure regular Coke switched to fructose only all over the world a few years back
Categorically false. Coca-Cola Classic uses HFCS in the US, which is about half fructose. It uses sucrose (table sugar) in the rest of the world, which is... guess what, half fructose.but the sweeteners can screw up your metabolism just as badly as refined sugar.
100% absolutely false. Artificial sweeteners have no influence whatsoever on metabolism.
Also keep in mind that "sweeteners" come in many different forms. It would be the height of foolishness to think that such disparate chemicals as sucralose, aspartame, and saccharin would all have identical "screw up your metabolism" effects on the body.0 -

Nope. Coke zero and diet Pepsi just aren't the same. There is no replacement for diet coke.0 -

Yeah, diet soda is not good for you. Sad, but true. I still drink it on occasion, but an alternative is iced tea or sparkling water with lemon or lime. It gives me the fizzy I am after.0

Hi, my name's Carrie and I'm addicted to Diet Coke. With everything I've read about it I know how bad it is for you and am trying desperately to cut it out. I drink a LOT of water at my desk all day long. But during meals I like to change it up a bit. I used to get Diet Coke with my lunch but now I'm trying to find a good alternative. I enjoy Vitamin Water but not sure it that is a good alternative either. Suggestions????
Coca Cola Classic! since you should have been drinking it all along!
Genius! :drinker:0 -

Did you read that on Dr. Mercola's site? I bet you did.

I don't do scientific research at google's main search page, and the fact that you do says a lot about your understanding of the subject.0
