The whole it rots your guts thing isn't true. My science teacher told us about it. He said that, most people believes this because the acid in it can clean coins etc BUT diet drinks are no more acidic then Lemons etc. It doesn't actually do any real damage, as our bodies are designed to be able to handle acidic foods, keep in mind that our stomach has hydrochloric acid in it. (I'm not saying that it's ok to drink acid, as obv this would burn your throat and the rest of your insides, but the acidity levels found in food wont damage your bodies).
And yes I do drink diet drinks. I prefer the taste, and I would rather not consume as much sugar per drink that is found in normal drinks. But then everything in moderation, I would rather water over pop or anything :)

yup..once in a while. Regular soda is just a ton empty sugar calories. Anything in diet soda won't do a tenth of the damage that 1 can of Coke, with 3.3 tablespoons of sugar in carbonated water, will do. Everything we eat, drink and breathe is going to kill us..you have to draw the line somewhere...

Yes. I do drink a lot of water, but when I choose a soda, it is a diet soda about 85% of the time.

Yes. (That's the easiest question I've answered today.) I refer to Diet Coke as "The Divine Elixir" and also love Pepsi's Strawberries 'N Cream Jazz.

I'd say about 99% of the time, I drink diet. Even if I weren't watching my weight (well, maintaining now as I've reached my goal), I prefer the taste. Regular sodas are just so sweet! My favorite is Pepsi Jazz...either black cherry/french vanilla or the caramel cream.

Yes alot!
by Johnny Cache on September 11th, 2007
Yes, and I probably would even if I didn't need to cut the calories. They make regular sodas too sweet nowadays, IMHO.
And if the artificial sweeteners break down into formaldehyde - well, that explains why I look so well preserved at my age. :-p

No...it rots your guts.....if you look up the ingriedents you will find formaldahide as a preservative....;)

by Pat Pat on September 11th, 2008

by Zack on January 10th, 2008
A lot of them get me sick. I would rather drink water instead.
by Merfish on September 11th, 2008
Yes, I do.
by Jane on January 10th, 2008

by lyrical on December 5th, 2008
No, I don't drink any soda, if I did though, I definitely would avoid diet one's.

Sorry, I can't drink them. PKU.
by Intelligentsia on January 19th, 2009
No. Two reasons.
1. They aren't as good.
2. They are worse for you in the long run.
by Shabba on April 30th, 2007
No.
Firstly I prefer the taste of normal soft drinks (sodas).
Secondly, they say that the artificial sweeteners used in food today break down into Formaldehyde when digested... I'd rather be cremated when I die... not embalmbed.
