Why is diet coke worse than regular

[JiP]

people say this on here all the time, while various experiments have been done of articial sweeteners and haven't found them to be detrimental to humans at all. also they've been around nearly half a decade now, with no side effects noticed yet. and as far as i know it is acidic as orange juice, or other fruit juice.

Why would you want to drink coke anyway?
It's sugar-filled trash. I would not be even able to drink it anymore.

that's like saying why would you want to eat cookies, or pizza or other trash. everyone likes food that tastes good. very few people on here have a diet free of that kind of stuff, regardless of how much they'll preach not to eat/drink it

[Roger999]

I think there was a study that found the preservative(211) found in diet coke was found to cause changes to the DNA or something, and caused hypoactivity in kids, try googling it.

I think pop could be the worst thing you could drink. Your basically drinking sugar. As for diet pop it has artificial sweeter, which I think is classified as a drug. Also used in rat poison? That could be a myth.

[Sexyman09]

So they try to sweeten the rats up before they die? On the nutritrion label of a diet drink there are is no sugar. But I've really never read the ingredients before. Idk I just drink water ftw fools

Yes,have you ever seen a fat person get skinny off diet soda.

I admit, I eat chocolate. It happens that I eat a few cookies, but I limit myself as much as I can. My diet is very clean.

As someone mentioned above, it's like drinking sugar. Coke, diet or not, is rubbish. As a bb you should know that...

[Vikingur]

You can drink all the diet coke you want.

In my experience the people that say diet coke is worse than regular are fat people looking for excuse to have sugar.

[IronAbrams]

It's not. People get WAY overhyped about artificial sweeteners.

Still, you won't see me drinking soda, diet or not too often- I'm like my water.

[BBKid7101]

diet coke is worse for ur insides, regular more effects outside (weight wise)

lol I never drink Coke. Haven't had it in absolutely ages, same with any fizzy drink. I prefer a bottle of water over that crap thanks. It 'tastes' nicer, in the sense that it is hydrating, refreshing and just feels more cleaner.

You enjoy drinking your crap and enjoy your teeth in 10 years.

Isn't it because of the high levels of aspartame used?

Just search on google for how aspartame can be harmful, there's loads of info

[burningNun]

Search for str8flexed's posts on how aspartame is not harmful in people without PKU or even people with PKUH.

Coke is bad because of its effects on bone density. Diet Coke does not have (much) sugar in, even though the aspartame might make it taste like it does.

Diet coke/pop can cause cravings which leads you to eat more **** food.

Coke has loads of sugar in it. Enough to fully dissolve a healthy tooth in one week if the tooth if fully emerged. Diet coke however has no sugar, it has aspartame. While aspartame is not good for the human body, there is no where near the amount in diet coke to do anything bad to you. I have friends who drink diet pop up until a week or two before competitions and they always come in shredded. I myaelf don't really drink pop anymore because I think fruit juices taste better, but if you do drink a diet pop you will not be ingesting the mass amount of sugar your regularly would from a regular pop, but you will be taking in aspartame which is never good for you, but the amount is so small it won't hurt you anyways.

Diet coke has aspertame which stays in your body. while normal sugar gets disolved by your body.

fruit juices can be loaded with sugar too

I know, but I like the taste of fruit juices more. If I had a choice between sugary pop, or sugary fruit juice I would take the juice thats all.

theres a reason your still skinny fat. you sit on the computer and ask dumb questions. First of all dont drink either ones filled with sugar and the other still has caffine and aspertame. Only drink water, green tea, milk and of course shakes. Now go workout.

i never drink regular coke, just diet. also i drink over a gallon of water a day, along with 1 whole can of diet coke. it's just annoying hearing people tell you it's gonna kill you

i assure you, that is not the reason. i'd love to know why having 'caffine' and 'aspertame' is a bad thing. that is why i made this thread.

i was unaware caffeine did that. i just checked some studies on google and none of them stated doses. do you know how much it is? i negged you for saying i'm still skinnyfat because i'm lazy, while it's because i started out as a weak fatass a year ago. also inspired a new user title

edit - the dose to cause an issue was 3mg per kg of weight. which would be about 250mg a day. that's 6 cans of diet coke a day

right i never meant that that you were lazy...i meant that you could be using your time better. think about it if you bike to work and such then you must not have that much time and this will be true. im not sure about the dose..i learned about it in one of dr. john berardi's articles on http://www.t-nation.com i reccomend them. I know for a fact that he reccomends green tea, which has a small caffine dose howevere pop and coffee have a large caffine dose if thats helpful. personnaly all i drink is water, green tea, milk and shakes.

[Sasa92]

What the ****, I'm sick of these is "is coke bad for you" kind of trends just its soda that's all you need to know don't drink it that's all.
