Its fine. Aspartame(The artificial sweetener in most diet sodas) breaks down into Phenylalanine (an amino acid) and methanol(a by-product of metabolism, and in very small ammounts) All the crap about brain tumors is completely made up.

People have been drinking soda's for year's - I don't think 1 or 2 a day is bad - Unless your doctor tells you not to
Comments
- And people are getting fatter every year! Soda is garbage. Most people would be much healthier if they simply replaced their soda intake with water.

- I have to agree. Water intoxication is very dangerous and people have died due to it. +6.

- Water is only bad for you if you drink WAYYY too much. Most people don't drink nearly enough water.
  
  It's a good idea to cut out all sugary (and "diet") drinks and replace them with water.

Artificial sweeteners are not good for you and neither is the high fructose corn syrup in regular soda. Plus the carbonation isn't good for your digestion.

drinking items like coke zero or pepsi 0 are good ways to wing off more sugar packed drinks. after a while i would then try more vitamins filled drinks

Diet soda is very bad for you. It's filled with chemicals and it's sweet taste confuses your body. Drink water instead.

Yes, but i'm a bit of a health nut. Of course its bad for you, its got the bad sugars in it...If you're asking me if you should drink it or not, i'm going to have to tell you that if you want to live a healthy life then you have to slow down the intake of those diet pepsi's. Of course you can have the odd one, just not everyday. But its fine to treat yourself, just ask people who are on diets and aren't eating crap. They can have the odd thing thats a little junkie but it needs to be consumed in small quanities and not all the time. After all...YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!

Any kind of soda is way too sugary and is not good for your health.

its bad for your teeth but it can't make you fat also it has like no good things in it. So its not exactly bad for you but it isnt good
Comments
- Many believe that it can make you fat. There's a new idea about "fat storing genes" which says that artificially sweet foods and drinks can cause your body to store fat even though they have no chemicals. Basically it tricks your brain into thinking it's eating sugar. Have you ever noticed how almost everyone who drinks diet soda is fat? ... On my diet (http://www.TheDayOffDiet.com) they recommend not drinking diet soda.

If you don't have a stomach acid problem then that is probably ok. I wouldn't drink more than that for sure, too much of anything is not good. There is some research that says that diet drinks can cause short term memory problems; so, if that is a concern for you then maybe you might want to cut back.

2 cans a day of basically liquid sugar is not good for you - not good for your teeth, stomach, health, blood sugar level, etc.

I'd say 1 can a day would be a limit for you. However, I can't dictate how you live your life. Just be prepared for diabetes, dental problems, high blood pressure, etc.

- Another example of me skimming a question. However, the main point is the same. Diet pepsi contains aspartame, which some say (depends which company is paying them) is harmful in large quantities - just like sugar. As such, but answer stands - just replace sugar with aspartame. I don't think a deduction of 5 points was warranted. I did at least try.

- What they put in place of the sugar is worse than the sugar itself

Yes but this might not be. Soda without the additives that diet pepsi has.

A different way to launch a soft drink.

We're The Cockney Spirits and we managed to pull off an advertising stunt at The Redbull Flugtag - check it out at this link http://www.youtube.com/thecockneyspirits.

Thanks!

Just a splash. Fruit juice and sparkling water.
