    Oh well. I love my diet sprite & diet dr pepper. I'll die eventually anyway. :D Liveee it up.

    Also, on my diet sprite, it is supported by the national cancer society. soooo, i don't believe diet pop gives you cancer.

    Sometimes a diet soda gets me through a sweet craving without using up my oh so valuable daily calories. I shall continue to partake and enjoy.

    Yes, we all will die someday, but it please be aware that "diet" soda will hinder your wieghtloss efforts. The body does not know how to break it down and it will still act as if it is sugar in your body. I challlenge anybody to give up diet soda and watch their body drop 5 lbs within a couple weeks just by that change.

    The problem is that a lot of those studies are flawed and the evidence isn't as concrete as it should be. In one of the articles, it even says: "This study has major flaws and should not change anyone's diet soda consumption".

    I'm not saying diet soda isn't bad but I think as long as you have it in moderation, you'll be ok . I try to stick to carbonated water if I really want soda, diet or regular.

    My guess is that toxic shock syndrome gets more deaths per year than diet soda.

    So, let me get this right.

    Diet soda is more dangerous then drinking Alcohol, smoking cigarettes, exposure from your cell phone, asbestos, radiation (from x-rays and other such things), sunscreen, tanning, flat out overeating, and driving in a car?

    Because it kills more people per year? Really?

    Okay. I still think I'll take my chances. =D

    I've given up diet soda for months at a time because of lack of money. Never caused me to lose weight. I wish it was that easy.

    On the other hand, I've been drinking diet soda for the last few months (good sale prices in the spring/summer) and am losing weight quite steadily. Thank you.

    I drink diet soda every day - and I've gone without it for weeks too - no change. It curbs my appetite and any sweet craving I may have. Bad for me and full of who knows what? - sure - but hindering weight loss? nope.
