I know a lot of people that drink warm water with lemon and a couple spoons of apple cider vinegar every morning. I've read it's great for your digestive system. I'd drink it this way so you don't have to change the taste of your other drinks.
This is misinformation. Diet drinks are no better or worse than the other, the only difference being regular has calories and diet has none.
Everything in moderation.
ETA: this comes from a girl who can't stand sugar soda or diet sodas, except for Zevia and the occasional diet 7 UP and Diet Dr. Pepper.
I don't believe it's not true. I chose to go along with what my doctors have told me. I've also seen research on it. Your body knows how to break down the sugar in regular soda but a lot of the diet soda sugars give it trouble. However, in addition to that the dark dyes and coloring are bad for you. I'm not claiming diet sodas will kill you but it seems best to stay away. I know moderation is better than all the time but if you're trying to be healthy diet sodas are not it.
Neither the sweeteners nor the colouring bring health risks.
Whatever you say. Bottom line is they are not healthy. You can drink what you want and the OP and I will chose to exclude diet sodas.
No, that's not the bottom line. They're fine, not unhealthy.0 -

Diet soda is healthy?? Okay. This is not a real convo. Good luck to you and your beliefs. As stated before we will continue to exclude them.

Because something is not unhealthy doesn't mean it is healthy. Diet soda is neither, it just is what it is. Flavored water with no calories.0

I don't care what you do, what i care about is that you don't say things that are incorrect as others might get a wrong idea.0 -
i take cider vinegar capsules to help lower my cholesterol, but i don't like the flavor which is why i take the capsules and not add it directly to my drink.0

@stevencloser where is your proof to back up your view on what is right or wrong? To say only you know what is true or not is narcissistic at best. Doctors have said they are not healthy for you, yet you're telling people in the community to only believe you. Perhaps their is conflicting information on this topic, and accordingly you cannot say with 100% certainty that you are correct. The users on here will have to choose who they want to believe.0

I never said I personally use them or would. Just thought it was cool because I had no idea.

Do you really want to argue that artificial sweeteners, according to the FDA the most thoroughly studied food additive to exist, are dangerous to you?@stevencloser where is your proof to back up your view on what is right or wrong?

The FDA is federally regulated and usually lags behind in determining and defining what is healthy. Our FDA is pretty lax as compared to other first world countries and accordingly many of those countries choose not to consume some of our food. But this is tangential. I won't debate the FDA with you. There are people that believe eating non organic is ok and those that don't. FDA says there is nothing wrong with the pesticides. Some don't feel that's true. If you shop at WholeFoods and places like that, you typically stay away from diet drinks because you believe them to be not healthy.

It's not the FDA saying it's fine, it's over 3 decades worth of research, more than was put into any other food additive, solely because of fear mongering like yours.0 -
Unfiltered apple cider vinegar does have some probiotics in it, so a small amount added to water could be helpful (not a magical weight loss cure though, sorry!). Some people also do like the taste when added to water. A friend of mine can't stand water and will drink it only with unfiltered apple cider vinegar in it.
