I drink ~4-5 Litres of water a day, but I also love my diet soda while cutting (diet mountain dew, coke zero cherry, fanta zero, and diet dr pepper.) If I'm drinking between 1-3 cans a day, should I cut back?

From a caloric standpoint it doesn't matter, it isn't better than water though. People will argue over the consumption of aspartame so depending what you believe that could be a factor, also they add other stuff as well, caffeine is a diuretic.

You'll be fine.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I kind of doubt anyone can really answer this question, I don't think the additives have been around long enough to really have much in the way of long term studies, I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you are going overboard with your consumption.Originally Posted by waatsgood

who knows if it is or isn't it can't be good so it must be bad. I drink like 3-4 20 ounce bottles of pepsi max, coke zero, and diet sunkist daily. Yeah im addicted but I'd much rather be addicted to diet soda than hardcore drugs.

There was a whole thread done about artificial sweeteners and studies, it was something like 14g+ a day needed for any issues (18L of diet soda or something)

I was just about to say this. Ridiculous amount of cans are needed to be consumed before it affects you OP. 3 - 4 cans are fine .Originally Posted by AlwaysTryin
