    Those are just a couple for those of you interested in it. I don't think an every now and then soda is bad but too much of anything can be a problem especially something processed.

    You can actually use coke diet or regular as a meat tenderizer because of its ability to disolve flesh. Think of that while you are trying to quit. That's what helped me kick it.

    Soda pop in any form is full of sodium - drinking soda will encourage you to retain water as well

    And the caffeine is a diuretic whch makes you shed water. I was told (by someone who used to work in the industry) that the carbonation is what thins the bones. So, anything that is carbonated is bad for you. Another thing about Coke is that it removes rust from chromed steel. Yikes!!

    Really? How much is in a can of diet coke or is that just non-diet pop?

    So even just soda water is bad? I love drinking water that I've carbonated by my Soda Stream.

    I don't use any artificial sweeteners at all. I don't think enough research has been done on them. Just because they may or may not cause cancer doesn't mean they won't lead to other problems, whether it's weight gain or otherwise.

    If I drink soda, which I've significantly cut back on, I drink the regular stuff.

    Diet sodas are proven to add belly fat.

    uh where did you get that information from? can you provide the double peer reviewed scientific study that actually says belly fat is caused by diet soda.
