Is Diet Pepsi Really Bad For Me?

if you google CARMEL COLOR CANCER you probably wont drink pepsi any more.
if you think sprite or 7up or fruit soda is better because it dosnt have carmel color, then google BROMOLATED VEGETABLE OIL (BVO) and you will never drink sprite or 7up or fruit soda again.

Well honestly I drink quite a lot of it. I don't guzzle it down or anything but I usually get through a 2l bottle in a day. It has not slowed my weight loss not has it impacted my physical fitness which is going through the roof. I don't crave any carbs or sweet things. Frankly I think the research is bollocks.

The research isn't made up or false. People are just making up their own conclusions and taking the reported data the wrong way.

But they may be poorly designed studies. And probably are - I am having a really hard time finding nutrition research that passes the sniff test in that regard.

OP, if you have phenylketonuria or gout, you shouldn't be drinking soda, period. Actually, for gout, it's the caramel color that is the potential trigger, so you could drink non-brown soda without harm.

If you notice that you're hungrier after having a diet soda, you might not want to drink it.

If you have really lousy tooth enamel, you might not want to drink it.

Otherwise, there's no reliable evidence that it is a problem. Drink away.

I don't know but I do have a friend who only drinks diet Pepsi and she's in her 50's. This woman has surgery every 3 months to either install a tube in her liver or a duct in her bladder. Not sure what is going on but she is on pain pills all the time. These surgeries have been going on for two years now. I asked her to try kicking the diet Pepsi habit but she says she can't. She doesn't drink water. Are the two issues linked? I say they are. Who knows?

I drink water, and I have immune issues. I've had different forms of chemo off and on for the last 13 years. Are they linked? Totally. Stop drinking water.

Dihydrogen Monoxide kills millions of people every year.

100% of the people who drink Diet Pepsi will die.

As long as you don't eat mentos at the same time because you don't want to explode do you.

I gave up diet soda and artificial sweeteners when I read studies about how they can trick your body into gaining weight. I actually used to crave diet soda, and I feel it is engineered to be addictive. I also choose not to drink sodas because of the artificial preservatives and colors, which I avoid in all things I consume.

Time will only tell if these will have bad effects on our health, but I prefer not to be a guinea pig.

Ok, to be more specific, stories about studies. True - not true? We'll never know, just like we don't know if anything in the news is true, but that will never change. So, I did my own study and by cutting out sodas and other crap, lost 52 lbs, no longer get heartburn, and can walk long distances without my feet swelling. That's good enough for me

Actually we do know that there have been no studies that prove your point.

And I'm guessing the bold part is why you lost weight. Congrats on the weight loss though. :flowerforyou:

Whoa!! Don't mess with peoples' soda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
