I was just wondering how bad diet soda is (in moderation) compared to regular soda? With regular soda, you're consuming empty calories... but I've heard negative info on diet soda. What are your thoughts?
 
aspartame gave my mom seizures. they also have been linked to strokes and cancer
 
What? I didn't know soda (diet), caused so much crap.. Wow.. I drink that sometimes to kill my craving for soda.. Say it isn't so..! damn i'm never drinking any kind of soda, ever again.. :|
 
A big thing to consider with DIET sodas is how they affect insulin sensitivity in the body. I've actually seen some pretty convincing evidence that the body treats sugar alchohols almost exactly like it would sugar. So really what are you concerned with regarding "bad?" Do you mean for lean-mass, weight loss, or general health?
 
People often use the consumption of diet soda to justify eating any other foods, thinking that lack of calories in the soda will make up for excess calorie consumption in other foods.
 
Diet soda has destroyed my aunt's liver. She went to the hospital for some routine blood work and when the Dr came to see her the first thing he asked was "How long have u been an alcoholic" - my aunt was perplexed, she hasnt drank a drop of alcohol in 20+ years, she told this to the Dr and that all she drinks is water, some tea, and diet coke. The dr told her to quit the diet coke it was on the verge f causing her to have sorosis of the liver.

I haven't touched any soda since she told me this.... That was about 9 years ago.
 
Soda in any form is garbage. Why anyone drinks that crap is beyond me. Why not just shoot heroin? Same deal.
