Diet or regular soda? which is better for you ? I've heard diet is just as bad because of chemicals they put in it but I don't know if that's true.

None of the above :D I'm not a fan of soda (or iced tea). I'll take lemonade anytime. I even prefer fresh lemonade! But that's expensive in the restaurants here in the Philippines. Hope you're not into diet soda because aspartame isn't good for you.

I think i've heard that before. That diet soda isnt good for you. Its like how diet coke too. I think they made it less sweet thus using more chemicals inside? I am not sure either.

Diet or regular soda mean the same to me, it's still soda and it's not considered healthy. But I like the taste of the regular soda than the diet one. The diet kind consists of fewer calories because it has artificial sweeteners than the regular one. That's what my friend a doctor who specializes in diabetes told us. She hreself drinks diet soda. I ask her once is it true that drinking beverages with aspartame is bad side effects? there has been researches about it. She said if you drink gallons of aspartame it's really bad. anyhow, drinking soda should be limited or one should not drink at all if you feel it's not healthy for you. Although once in a while drinking in moderation of any kind of beverages is fine enough with me. Cheers!
