Some say dont drink it....some say its not a problem. I subscribe to the theory everything in moderation.....even diet soda. I drink maybe a few cans of diet ginger ale a week.....thats it.0

Speaking very, very quietly - so as not to awaken the sleeping soda defenders: I agree. Whether it is scientific or not - I am not constantly reaching for something sweet as I have for the last 30 years. Every time I fixed a glass of DPepsi, I thought of something that would taste good with it. And I feel better too. Thanks for posting!0 -
Drink it everyday and have manage to lose a few pounds..... If you buy into the so called studies that say its bad then don't drink it or if you are in the camp that doesn't believe there is a lot of harm in drinking a few a day than continue on.... My way may not be the right way but it works for me so I am going to head out and grab me another Pepsi Max while the rest of you argue a mute point... Drink it/Don't Drink it, Your Choice....... Best of Luck...0

I've *heard* that in diet coke their is a chemical that slows down weight loss? However I have had maybe one a week during my whole journey and still lost 3lbs each week until recently... So I don't really think a few will effect it too much but obviously water is the better choice due to flushing toxins and metabolism and the amount of rubbish that is in coke... But a few won't hurt:)0

Just a note to Joe the personal trainer . . .
"I've been drinking it over 20 years with no issues. Great dental check ups, no loss of bone, no cravings for sugar, or any of the other anecdotal symptoms that diet soda opponents state as being "fact".
It may cause problems for some, but by in large, it's fine to drink if you want to use it as your "sweet" treat. "
Really? My father-in-law is 87 and a heavy smoker. People much younger than him are dying of lung cancer. To say that because the cola has no ill effects on you, so it's good to go, is liking saying that everyone's body will react the same as yours.
There is something wrong with this picture. Does anyone else see it?
Perhaps a short course in how to win friends would help you to give a kinder response to my friend pandurbear77 the next time. :-)
