What's wrong with diet drinks?
I drink diet coke once maybe twice a week and I drink diet iced teas 2-4 times a week. I heard that diet drinks are bad for you but why?
I don't have any urges to eat more like some people said is the effect of diet drinks. Also, I have have been losing body fat. So what's the real harm of diet drinks?

There is nothing wrong with diet drinks. Drink away.0

There is no conclusive evidence that diet drinks are bad - yet...
I gave them up years ago just because I suspect they're bad for my body. I felt much better after giving up diet drinks, but again, that's not definitive. For me it was a choice along with other foods I no longer eat.
Most of these drinks are laced with chemicals galore as well as caffeine. I'd rather just drink green tea for a caffeine lift and water with lemon to quench thirst.
It's a personal choice. To each his own...0 -
Meh, some people like to feel virtuous by making their lives less enjoyable.0

I do think it's a personal choice. I agree with 50's fit, they are loaded with chemicals0

Seriously, I juice beets with a bunch of other stuff to hide their loathsomeness...0 -

I LOVE diet coke, but it does make me feel bloated, so I try to just drink it occasionally rather then weekly!0

No idea if it's a good study.0 -
I have heard/read that some people overeat when they drink diet soda because they overcompensate and convince themselves that because they are drinking zero calorie drink then the french fries are okay. I have also heard that because the artificial sweeteners have come a long way (believe me they have since I was a teenager) that people will become addicted to the sweet taste and therefore sweets. I have noticed that two splendas in my coffee is a LOT more sweet than just two or three teaspoons of just plain sugar. There are of course no calories in splenda, but I get used to the sweet taste.0
