What's Your Opinion of Diet Soda? Is it bad?

Its not as bad as a Cola, moreover it has less amount of sugar and calories, which is better to choose diet coke

yes its bad... too much of everythin is bad... so better take whats enough for your body...

I only drink it as I can't tolerate sugar......no problems with me for years. What don't they say is bad these days ?

Its all i can drink. If you are diabetic or what to lower blood sugar yes diet pop.

I drink diet all the time. I'm already a senior in good health.

My brother in law is too. and that is what he drinks. But he does not use suger at all in his coffee or tea.

I drink them a lot. They are high in salt, and the sugar is artifical. Not too healthy on a steady diet. Okay once in awhile.

The artificial sweetners in the diet sodas are probably worse than the sugar in regular soda. Do some research on what they are saying about these synthetic sweetners. It sounds terrible. I know from my own personal experience that if I drink 2 or 3 diet sodas in a day I end up with a terrible headache.

There have been some reports about some diet sodas that contained a substance that could turn into benzene, a poison, but it was only certain sodas and the problem was addressed. I drink diet soda to avoid the extra sugar and calories--a can of regular soda can have 12 teaspoons of sugar.
