    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.
    Yah, I've read this before and can only assume there is truth in it. I find drinking diet soda very satisfying and don't feel the need to get real sugar. So like you say, if it works for you, it doesn't matter. :)

    Actually, there are a number of studies which show that is not the case. There is no increase in appetite due to the use of artificial sweeteners.

    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.
    Very true!

    I switched to Iced coffee light with skim...
    All the caffeine and no aspartame...

    Coke zero or Cherry Coke Zero! I dont cave to scare tactics, have no allergic reactions to aspertame, still get in more than the recommended amounts of water and savor every sip of my calorie free Cokes!

    Well, I LOVE diet cherry coke! Yum! It is my favorite. I only have a maximum of one caffeine drink per day, either a diet coke or a cup of coffee. Occasionally, I will have another diet caffeine-free soda later in the day. I don't think they make me crave sweets. I actually think they satisfy a sweet craving.

    But I DO NOT drink calories anymore. I'd much rather eat them.

    And aspartame doesn't scare me.

    Best drink ever: water.


    If I have to chose between Coke Zero or Diet Coke (Coca Light as called in Mexico) I prefer Coke Zero, tastes less artificial :D

    Diet Dr Pepper! YUMMY!! I'm working on cutting back though but I'm pretty sure everything will kill us according to some study.

    I love Coke Zero but rarely drink diet sodas anymore because for me they cause problems with my blood sugar control.
