Well, on the rare day that I decided to watch the news, they were talking about diet sodas and how they actually aren't good for you. They had a specialist say that an ingredient in diet soda actually makes you want to eat more. so he theres my tidbit for the day.
 
Yeah I'm aware of that, and I don't drink diet soda anyways :)
 
diet soda got a really horrible flavor, that's why you need something to eat to prevent the continuous "diet" flavor in your mouth xD
 
Diet does not have a horrible flavor maybe to you, but not to me. And it does not make me eat more either.
 
everyone has its own different taste buds, the diet flavor is the worst flavor I ever tasted, even I couldn't swallow it.
 
Check this out!!

The poison in Diet Coke is aspartame. As a member of the National Soft Drink Association, Coke opposed FDA approval of aspartame for beverages. Their objections, running to several pages published in the Congressional Record of 5/7/85, said aspartame is uniquely and inherently unstable and breaks down in the can. It decomposes into formaldehyde, methyl alcohol, formic acid, diketopiperazine and other toxins. In a study on 7 monkeys 5 had grand mal seizures and one died, a casualty rate of 86%.

not eat at all times. just eat more. they showed in a study that people who drank diet soda actually gained more weight than people who drank regular soda.
 
I think that this information is being manipulated into something that is not what it is about.

For example, a person who sees "Diet snack" might think that he can eat more because it is "less" than the regular snacks. It is totally untrue, as the snacks still have calories, albiet less fat.

For me, I prefer Diet coke 1000 times over regular soda. Regular soda is beyond sweet, tastes disgusting to me full of sugar and caramel. The diet version is just right and light tasting.

My medical school professor told us that the stories about fake sugar is totally untrue, as Vampyro pointed out already to us.

I think it is silly to conclude that diet soda will lead us to eating more. The soda DOES not make us eat, but it is the lack of will of people to not eat more. They have no self-control, and would rather blame it on some silly diet soda than on themselves.
 
I don't drink much soda, I've wished that soda was never invented!
 
im been drink lots of diet soda dues my dr's orders but i drink lots of Diet Pepsi,Diet Coke since about 2001 i think so.when i was in middle school or high school i drink lots of dr.pepper its bad for me but my old doctors wanted me to less drink i says sure no problems.

my dad loves drink lots of diet cokes and my aunt my mom's sister drink lots of diet coke also.
 
I've heard rumors that carbonated sodas can increase the risk of osteoporosis. Can this be verified?

There has been much debate in Canada whether aspartame is good or bad for you. The general concensess it that it is bad.

However, I wonder how they can say this. Diabetics have been replacing sugar with aspartame for many many years.
