Diet Coke or Coke Zero?
Replies

i don't like either. Its been shown that artificial sweetener like Aspartame causes cancer in large enough doses. I would rather have fat that i can work off then a cancer that is out of my control. Now, to have one or the other as a treat either would be fine, it comes down to personal preference.0

Ill drink either but i prefer the coke zero...it tastes more like the regular coke...
I also like the cherry coke zero and sprite zero too...0 -
Neither diet soda is a health food but only you can decide if they hinder you. I haven't found that to be the case for myself and I'd recommend Coke Zero, I think it tastes better. :drinker:0

Dude I would not drink Coke with fat in it.0

I used to drink Diet Pepsi all the time and I constantly got these terrible headaches. I went to the doctor about my headaches and she asked me if I drank diet soda. I told her I did and she told me I was probably allergic to the diuretics that were put in diet sodas. I quit drinking diet drinks all together and the headaches went away. Every now and then, I will drink a regular Coke or Pepsi, but I don't drink them all the time since they have way too much sugar content. If I've had a good week with my weight loss and working out, then I will treat myself to a Coke or Pepsi. Or, I will have some frozen yogurt at Cherry Berry! YUM!!0

I drink Diet Coke because I prefer the taste.

I truly think all soda is terribly bad and I get very bloated from them but I do drink coke zero vanilla or cherry and also I like diet vanilla pepsi or diet pepsi. If you are going to drink a soda and dont want calories that's the way to go even though i dont think it's "better' than a full soda.0

they both have aspartame, therefore don't drink either! you're just poisoning yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!
drink a healthy glass of green tea instead!
None of the conspiracy/scare tactics/superstition information is supported by legitimate science, i.e.double blind studies.0 -
Kick the soda habit! Once you've dropped it for two weeks, you won't even miss it. And it tastes so bad when you do drink it again.0

The only problem with artificial sweeteners are that they are much and by much I mean a lot sweeter than sugar itself so it makes you crave more. So if you have a sweet tooth I would not recommend drinking or eating anything sugar free that has artificial sweeteners in it! But if you can drink it and not crave other things that are unhealthy for you or your diet then it does not matter much.0

I hate diet, but I am not a big fan of coke zero. The best I have managed is that about 50% of the time I would go for a real cherry coke and the rest I'll trade it for a cherry zero.
Sprite Zero is very very close to sprite but I like cola more. The only real issue with diet cola generally is that it is better to drink water and the acids are bad for your teeth.0 -

I prefer Diet Coke (drinking it right now) but I drink WAY too much of it so have probably just got used it! I find normal Coke makes me jittery (probably all the sugar) and I don't think Coke Zero tastes anything like normal Coke, myself.0

Regular coke. If I am going to put junk in my body it might as well be worth it...lol0
-
Neither. I drink regular Coke or regular Cherry Coke.0

I also try to replace my soda with lightly/unsweetened iced coffee. Starbucks via is not too bad. You really only need to pour in half of the packet for 12+oz even though it says 2 8oz servings. It's 50 calories a serving, but I tend to add a little lowfat milk.0

Aspartame should not be on the market. I suggest steering clear of it in any food. Just a challenge--stop drinking any diet drinks for 4-6 weeks and see how you feel. Guarantee you will feel so much better. If you must, go with stevia first then Splenda second.0
