    Wow it's funny how everyone started running from sugar filled foods and drinks a decade ago and now we are starting to realize that good old sugar is not only better for you then fake sweeteners and High fructose corn syrup but safer to consume, ain't that a kick in the head.

    1. WOW ,just use less sugar.Is that not what its all about?The taste wil adapt soon.And you wil drink your coffee thea or whatever with the same liking?

    It is odd. Your better off staying away from sweets altogether.

  3. The acid is debilitating to ones health. Simple alternative is vitel water which is super alkaline living water and life enhancing.

  4. I never trusted diet soda, and this article gives me even more reason to stay away from it.

    There was actually a study a little while back that found that drinking diet soda might lead to a higher risk of stroke and heart attack.

  5. every researcher who studies the subject has clearly explained that correlation does not mean causation. just because there is a correlation between drinking diet soda and these health effects, does not mean it is the cause. most speculate that it is more a cause of lifestyle than the diet soda alone. having said that, most also say better alternatives are pure water or juice.

    1. It is true that correlation doesn't equal causation, but I notice that medicos often say this about foods but never about the new drugs they want to push. There is also proper science behind the detrimental effects of artificial sweeteners, too. Just train yourself to like things less sweet and if you really want some cake or a cookie or even a sweet drink, use honey or sugar and enjoy it thoroughly since you will be having less.

      I think one big reason people get fatter while they guzzle artificial sweeteners is psychological. They believe they have been 'good' about drinking this awful stuff and then eat more sweets to reward themselves.

      And NEVER consume this stuff while pregnant!

    1. What you have read above is not science, it is a shoot from the hip, biased, oversimplification. If you are concerned about your diet talk to your doctor.
      P.S. You CAN stop drinking soda. Empower yourself. You alone control your life. Good luck.

    2. Drinking Diet Coke can significantly alter the ability to spell correctly or to use punctuation. Speak to your doctor.

  7. My sister stopped drinking diet sodas and was hit by a bus.

    garbage science. Studies are just that, studies. and were the conclusions made on 200 participants or 200,000 and for how long was the study conducted? 2 months or 20 years? And were the subjects even human or were they mice? These are just some of the important fact that need to be considered before we grant a “study” any validity and “scare the public straight”

  11. Rick- if her spelling bothers you, you could have just let it go rather than taken a moment to criticize her. You don’t know her or her story, and to leave a note just to make a spectacle of it – says more about you, than her. Of course this message is two years ago. I hope since then you have grown to have compassion for others around you in realizing a little kindness goes a lot further and each choice we make designs our destiny. God Bless you Rick –
