How bad is diet coke for me?

Also, I've seen a few people blowing the horn of STEVIA, and that kind of amuses me. Aspartame is a horrible, terrible, processed artificial sweetener that you should avoid! So make sure you use the equally artificial and processed sweetener STEVIA instead!

Stevia markets itself as "natural," but the sweetener is just as processed as any other artificial sweetener out there. According to stevia's marketing line, aspartame is equally natural, as it's ingredients are both naturally occurring amino acids.

I love how people always seem to rage and pull out random sources when organic chemistry comes into play :laugh:

To be a LabRat it seems you don't get sarcasm that much, if any at all. The 24 cans a day was sarcasm since you did get that. And about the articles online, I don't know what threads you've been reading, but only the ones "they" read, are the right ones. So why don't YOU actually read what people right instead of jumping to conclusions?

About moderation, that's mainly those who aren't the "experts" here, which is true, moderation is a key, but denying this crap like diet soda is completely harmless, is total BS.

Now, before you actually try to correct me and say I'm talking nonsense, please, either READ the replies and stupidity people post in the threads, or don't try to correct me.

Your so write!

Funny. But I'm not sure if you got my joke or didn't. :-)

As bad as anything else, moderation. Be wary of replacing the synthetic sugar with real sugar from other places. Cheers and good luck!

I got your joke, mine was an add on. :drinker: <--- Diet Coke

:-)

That's a good point. People love to say soda is terrible for you because it dissolves all these things while cleaning or whatever, but they conveniently seem to ignore the THOUSANDS of commercial and industrial strength cleaners that are based on lemons and oranges.

Heck, plain water is actually an industrial degreaser.

Diet coke is "meh" for you. It may not deter you from losing weight but it's still unhealthy. So are most fruit juices...and milk(fat, sugar)...and alcohol. Water is best. I still have a Fresca every now and then but definitely not everyday.

Low doses of ethanol prevent harm from methanol from smoking and
aspartame, which otherwise the human body always quickly turns into
formaldehyde via the ADH enzyme inside the cells of blood vessels and
many tissues: Rich Murray 2010.02.26

This is inevitably a co-factor in many diseases of civilization since
1800, ranging from heart disease to Alzheimers to cancers to birth
defects like spina bifida and autism, which all have been increasing
rapidly since the approval of aspartame in 1981.

Prof. Woodrow C. Monte (Nutrition, Arizona State University, retired)
sent Chapter 12, Autism and Other Birth Defects, to EFSA in early
Novmber 2011, with a hundred mainstream scientific references,
available free as online full texts, in his comprehensive review
"While Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills", with 740 references
published January 1 2012.

His book is now available as an Kindle electronic book,
$ 9.80 download, readable on any computer via free software,

Honestly, both are bad for you.....anything but water is bad for you. In fact, water is sometimes bad for you to if it comes from tap.

Do you seriously believe this???

Are you referring to the trace amounts of harmful chemicals in tap water? According to my physical science teacher almost all water has tiny tiny tiny amounts of cyanide and radio active...something like that. BUT it's so minute that it doesn't have any harmful effect on you what so ever.

Wanna know what's in diet soda? Read the ingredients label. Mystery solved.

Personal trainers aren't qualified to talk about food or nutrition, any more than any other person on the planet. There is no formal nutrition training for personal training, so odds are, your trainer friend is just going to parrot a bunch of false, inflammatory statements he picked up from some web site. Read the labels, do some real, peer reviewed research, and make your decision.

Personally, I haven't found any peer reviewed research to say that occasional diet soda consumption is harmful in any way.
