Diet Sodas

Are these really bad for you? I usually have two cans a day.

Re: Diet Sodas

You will get a lot of differing opinions on this topic, as there are studies that say ingredients in diet soda is bad for you while there are also several studies that say they are perfectly safe.

My motto is everything in moderation. I don't think 2 a day is horrible, but I try to limit myself to one a day if at all. Sometimes I go weeks without it when i don't buy it at the store, so i don't stress out if I go overboard every once in a while.

I would just advise that if you are drinking a soda with caffeine that you make sure you are also drinking a lot of water all day and getting a lot of calcium as caffeine in excess can dehydrate you and be bad for your bones.

Re: Diet Sodas

Yes they are really bad for you. Diet contains aspertame and if you do some research on that, you will find out that it should not be consumed if you can help it. It damages your health in the long run, big time. If you're concerned about having it, but want something to drink during the day then try kefir, it's the healthiest drink you could ever have and it takes great. Look for the kefir post if your interested.

Just my opinion. Nothing artificial (especially sodas) should ever be consumed.

Re: Diet Sodas

Yeah, I agree with the last two posters. If you're going to drink it, having a lot of pop is not healthy. "But it's diet, so its all good!" Umm, no not really. if you're going to drink it, keep it a lttle bit, a can or less.

Hmmm well I cannot stand water! Is there something else that tastes better without calories?
