Diet Coke is a diabolical trick, it sells its self as healthy despite containing petroleum products (Natural Flavors) and cancer causing additives (Aspartame/Neotame). ''Contains Phenylalanine'' http://www.sweetpoison.com/as... http://aspartame.mercola.com/

No. I try to avoid sodas all together, but if I am going to drink one, I'm going to drink one that tastes good---Coke!

Most all diet sodas contain aspartame. If I drink anything with aspartame in it, it immediately causes a headache. What's more, if anything containing aspartame is left too long or is even left for a short period of time in a warm environment (like outside waiting to be stocked on the shelves), it turns into methyl alcohol, a poison. Why the FDA allows it in anything is beyond comprehension. Splenda (sucralose) can even be worse. It is a derivative of an insecticide. Saccharine, which in large amounts has been proven to be carsinogenic, in small amount seems to be the best bet. However, why not just use plain old sugar at 15 calories per teaspoon and not over do it.

Probably better to drink the high fructose corn syrup in the long run, aspartame is on the list of deadly chemicals for chemical warfare. Gives people migraines, and supposedly causes cancer, among a host of other health issues... I'll stick with iced tea, coffee, and water

I was because I thought it was better for me. Turns out it isn't any better for me and tastes nasty, so I switched back to regular.

It tastes worse than urine, and it's worse for you than regular Coke.
It makes me feel bloated like a balloon.

No. Diet Coke contains aspartame as the sweetener, Coke Zero uses both aspartame and “ace K” as its sweetener.

I don't drink any diet soda; hate the taste.

reply
Michelle 2012/08/09 21:26:54

Yes

Not because I think it's healthy or anything; I only drink diet pop because regular pop is too sweet and syrupy for me to drink. I only drink diet pops because I can't drink more than a few sips of a regular one before feeling sick to my stomach

The only diet I like is Diet Mountain Dew. For some reason, it's better... a little less sticky sweet.

For me no point in drinking diet soda. If I'm going to drink soda it has to be regular. I'm having a cherry Coke right now.

I know it's worse for you than regular coke, but I still prefer the taste. I don't drink it often, but i do enjoy it.

Ever since I was little, for a snack I would have cheese-itz and a diet coke. And to this day I will not drink any other kind of pop when i eat them. :3 it is the most yummy combination ever. and it reminds me of spending weekends and my grandparents house <3

gross..I stay away from anything that contains unnatural sweetener...it's ironic that people drink the stuff b/c they think they're doing a good thing but it does way more harm than good. I'm trying to get my mom to quit drinking the stuff. It tastes nasty too and if I'm going to drink something nasty, it better have alcohol in it.
