How bad are diet cokes

[SOY-COMO-SOY]

I know they're a lil better than regular cokes. But i dont know how bad they actually are. But i have a 12oz can of Diet Dr.Pepper like everyday. I limit myself to one a day, but some days i dont even have one. Most of the time i drink em its cuz im at home and i want something to drink but dont want water. When i go out to eat i drink nothing but water and i usually drink like 3 big cups full. When i workout i drink alot of water too.

Im trying to loose 15-10 lbs so im probably gonna give diet cokes up.

You might want to do some research on aspartame. It has a surprising amount of side effects on the body.

Some reaserch have shown that aspartame may be related to Multiple sclerosis. While i don't know if its true, i do know that my mother has had multiple sclerosis for a couple years, and she drank diet coke/pepsi for the longest time.


As for myself i don't drink cola or any kind of soft drinks, with all the chemicals and artificial sugars in there they can only be bad for you. I drink water and juice.

Aspartame is phenylalanine, an essential amino acid. No serious side effects have ever been linked to its use in spite of hundreds of expensive studies. The problem with Coca Cola is the phosphoric acid, which is said to leach calcium from the bones. In any case, everything in moderation. If your are working out really hard and losing a lot of fluid, Diet Coke is much better than regular Coke, although you said you are actually drinking Diet Dr. Pepper, which is a different drink with similar properties....
