It has 0 calories but there must be some negative.
Are there Drawbacks to drinking Diet Soda?
Aspartame has been known to cause cancer but I understand newer diet sodas (like coke zero instead of diet coke) don't have aspartame. Could be wrong though
I have been told that artificial sweeteners still trigger similar fat retention processes in your body. Or it spikes your insulin or something. So don't have a lot but I mean you gotta treat yourself to _something_ every now and then
Look at the ingredients and tell me if you think all those random chemicals are good for you. Potassium benzoate? Acesulfame potassium? Yeah real good shit I'm sure you'd wanna put in your body. Stick to water like a real man or forever be an addict
If it doesn't have aspartame it has some other cancer causing replacement forsure
Like this guy says it's not the best thing for you but every now and then won't hurt. It's definitely better than non diet
i heard somewhere that even sweet tasting food and drink will spike your insulin just as much as actual sugar but i'm not sure how true that is.
i tend to stay away from any kind of soda anyways though.
Hell yeah bro. I hear it also contains dihydrogen monoxide, and I'm scared by what I don't understand, so I chose to believe it's unhealthy.
Like anything, fine in moderation
Pretty much anything in life can give you cancer, don’t worry about it
the study that found that was bullshit. bad recording, inconsistent results, and industry backed publishing. shit's awful for your gut biome though so still worth staying away from.
I'd rather just drink the real sugar than some chemical if I was going to have it. There is no real good way to know if chemicals in food are harmful. People drink them and nothing bad seems to happen so they get to keep drinking them. Nothing good can come out of trying to trick your taste buds into thinking you are eating sugar when you aren't.
No there arent
dude, any kind of soda is not good for your body
its like to ask if a big fatass cheesburger from mcdonalds is any good for your body
no, its not
drink water, eat meat, eggs, nuts, fruits and vegies if you want the best results and thats pretty much it
G-guys I have been drinking 2 liters of diet soda every day for 6 months now... Did i dun goofd? I'm not joking...
probs not healthy but it doesnt effect your physique at all.
Most are fine. It's the dihydrogen monoxide that's lethal, user. That's the one you need to avoid.
The only conclusion is "It's too good to be true, so there is probably something in it that kills you."
I kinda feel the same way. There don't appear to be any downsides to it. The way they achieve the sweetness might be harmful might not be. Fuck it
>club soda
> squirt or two of lime juice
Thank me later.
Yea bro, the downside is you just wasted your money
I remember being pissed as a kid that my parents never bought soda but looking back on it I'm so fucking greatful. Maybe a few times a years I'll have one for no apparent reason and their alright but I couldn't imagine sucking multiple ones a day down.
No it doesn't dipshit
Yeah!
It tastes like crap!
>destroys your insulin sensitivity
>gives you cancer
Heh, nothing personal kid
Enjoy your meth teeth and kidney stones
aspartame
I NEED MY GF INTO 3D WORLD SO I CAN EAT OUTSIDE WITH HER AND MAYBE OPEN MY OWN EATRY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
one diet coke every month is not that bad. I used to drink a lot of soda but i changed to water and tea.
Bro even regular coke has MASSIVE amounts of the dissacharide sucrose and citric acid, people don't know about these nasty chemicals
Don't eat/drink anything with any sugar substitutes. Sugar, while not great for you, will always be better for you than the damage done to the brain and digestive system by artificial sweeteners. Also, many do trigger insulin response so you have to consider the negatives of that as well. No artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, or Stevia.
I should add that if you absolutely must drink soda, you should also consider that artificial colorants, flavorings, and corn syrup are all bad for you as well. Only ever drink soda that is sweetened with honey or unrefined cane sugar and is free of any artificial additives. In that case, your only concern should be the amount of sugar you're allowing yourself to consume.
replace soda with these
easy
You have to go back.
fpbp
>Sugar, while not great for you, will always be better for you than the damage done to the brain and digestive system by artificial sweeteners.
literally no evidence of this btw, and I eat pretty paleo in general but you can't make these claims without evidence
no stevia is a legit replacement, but boomers still bought the diet one. it went off the market then
no it's actually in line with other research
again stevia is pretty safe
