Sad but True: Diet Sodas Are Bad for Your Health

You kicked your regular soda habit, and now you’re sitting on cloud nine. But if that cloud is made of diet soda, you may have just created new problems. We talked to a dietitian about why diet soda is bad for your health, how to stop drinking it and alternatives to try instead.

I guess water is the only safe drink.

Drink healthy, eat healthy, exercise properly, do yoga, meditate.....do everything that everybody tells you to do....die anyway and regret all those thing you didn't enjoy.

Edited to add: I ain't giving up my Pepsi Max.

Diet soda sucks.

 

[Hard2Bluff]

My drink consumption consists of water, coffee and beer with an occasional Gatorade. However, sometimes I will get a mad craving for an ice cold Coca Cola (non-diet).

Im much the same but add tea. I will drink a mt. Dew maybe once or twice a month and that's usually only if we are at an eating joint and I don't want tea. I will also drink an occasional coke.

Yeah, my wife always keeps sweet tea in the fridge. I also get a craving for a Mt Dew every couple of months. My wife is a Dr. Pepper freak, so much it has ruined my taste for it.

Drink more beer.

About fifteen years ago, I was diagnosed as borderline diabetic. Switched to diet drinks and sweet n low iced tea. Initially gained twenty five pounds over three years, then started losing weight with no changes. Currently lost over eighty pounds and dropped off diabetic medicine. I think I'll stick with my diet drinks.

Same here.... I have not had a Coke ( diet or otherwise ) in years and frankly do not miss it... Sweet Tea is a weakness for me but I have that maybe once every 3 or 4 mos.

Diet soda is the drink equivalent to Vegan burgers...

Fake meat is not equivalent to alternative sweetener. The soda syrup is still original, just has a different sweetener. There many sweeteners like sugar, honey, agave, Splenda, xylitol, stevia, molasses, saccharine, and many others. Vegan burgers are not meat, period. Sweeteners sweeten what they are added to, end of discussion.
