In recent research, they said if you drink diet cola, you will actually eat MORE food than if you had water. It creates more hunger.
I am always intrigued when this claim is trotted out. I've been drinking diet coke for 25+ years. I drank it when I was a pre-pubescent sub 100 lb high school freshman, when I was putting on weight during and after college, drank it while I lost weight, and drink it now that I'm maintaining. One thing I have never observed in my n=1 study is that I am suddenly tempted to eat two Big Macs instead of one, or that I have insatiable hunger for any other food item.
Where does this claim come from exactly?0 -

Diet soda has Aspartame in it which is unhealthy. If you drink a diet drink it should be sweetened with stevia like crystal light pure!!!0

There are A Lot of Great alternatives such as the flavored waters!!!0

Most of the flavored waters that I've seen contain aspartame.
Which is actually a moot point because aspartame is essentially harmless.0 -
It kills me when people trot out the "aspartame is the devil, use stevia " line.
The number of studies on the safety of aspartame are orders of magnitude higher than that of stevia.0 -
You would have to pry my diet coke from my cold dead hands before I ever give it up...... If aspartame is going to kill me, it's had thirty years to do its best.0

And dare I say that none of them show negative impacts?0 -

But stevia is ~~natural~~, which means it is good for you by definition. You know, like fly amanita, belladonna and hemlock.0 -

Calories may be the same. BUT that diet soda WILL trick your brain into making insulin (due to sweetness) and, of course, contribute to weight gain. That's only the tip of the iceberg of issues I have with diet sodas
Check out that documentary "Fed Up". As cheesy as this sounds, it changed my life!0 -

Consumer pressure from people who've heard from someone who told them that aspartame was bad. The same reason Panera now markets their restaurant as "clean eating" and Lays makes baked chips. They can make more money by branding their competitors as bad.0 -

Mmmm, hemlock. It kills you naturally, which means it's okay!0
