Do U Drink Diet Sodas?

I am not much into drinking carbonated drink, not because I am too picky, but I am not really used to drinking it in a daily basis. In fact, I only have had some sodas when attending to events or special occasion. I am satisfied by drinking water it’s a more staple beverage for me. And it’s good for your health also because it doesn’t contain any artificial additives or flavors.

The same thing is true with things like Crystal Light- SOOOOOO bad for people! They are now saying that causes cancer! I stay away from anything diet and anything that takes out sugar and replaces it with other things. It is so bad for us...

I used to drink diet sodas, but they aren't the only thing that has aspartame. There are also drink mixes that also have aspartame in it. However, there are diet drinks that have sucralose in it, and if there's nothing else to drink, that's what I'll turn to. Aspartame IS very unhealthy. Bad for your brain. Messes people up badly. Best to read closely the ingredients list closely. My mom used to have big bottles of a drink that she got for free with aspartame, but one of my older sisters taught her about it, and last month in December 2012, we had to donate it to a thrift store that accepts food and drinks. I also have those drinks, but I'm thinking about pouring it out, cleaning it out and pouring in regular water in it instead of throwing the bottle itself away.

I tried diet soda before, But I didn't like it. So I don't really drink it, I don't like the taste. It taste different and weird plus In my mind it's still a soda, So why drink it instead of good tasting sodas. I don't know. I'm just a teenager when I tried it and I didn't know all about it. But still, even when I'm an adult,. I still don't like the taste of it.

I drink diet soda occasionally. I have also heard of the negative side effects of drinking diet soda but my mother doesn't believe it so she always buys it. When I go to the store with her I try to tell her not to buy it. I'm not sure if the studies are correct that diet soda is bad for the body but it's better to be safe.

I admit I drink diet soda. I have since I was about 7 yrs old. My best friend growing up was a very brittle diabetic and you now how kids always share. We use to walk home from school together and we would stop at this small family store and get a soda. Neither of us ever had enough money for our own soda so we always shared. I got so use to it that regular soda tastes terrible to me.

The diet varieties of soft drinks taste horrendous to me so I never bother with them at all. I actually find it hard to believe that they have become as popular as they are because I would prefer not to buy any if they only have the diet ones in the shop.

Like many here, I detest the taste of diet sodas, and I have never been much of a pop drinker anyway. I do find though, they come in useful ON OCCASION, to trick a tummy into thinking it is full. You know those days when you just can't get the idea of something sweet out of your head? The carbonation from one of those extra small cans makes me feel very full and the fact that there are very few calories makes it worth the occasional use. Hey by the way this makes 36!!! and you did a marvellous job of keping up with the answers

When I was younger I did try to drink a diet soda from time to time, but it really didn't take me all that long to realize that I got splitting headaches when I tried to drink them. As I've gotten older, I've also realized that I am not able to use artificial sweeteners in my coffee or tea. Thus I've come to the conclusion that I am very sensitive to artificial sweeteners and I will not consume them at all to keep from the headaches and general ill feeling. Thus, the simple answer to your question is that I do not drink diet sodas at all anymore.

My husband is a diabetic. I watch him down 2 to 3 diet cokes a day. then he is on Splenda. he used to go through a 12pk every couple of days. I have gotten him to slow down a bit. But then he turns to Splenda to sugar his tea. There are many foods that contain aspartame. Trust me I know because I do all the reading and shopping for my husband and his diabetic care. Personally I would rather use plain sugar than anything that is put into your body as synthetic. Someone has to make aspartame. Sugar is grown naturally. I read every label etc now. My husband got worse with his blood glucose readings. he had to go on sliding scale insulin. We got him somewhat stablized so he could go back on his reg insulin only. But now has to give himself 2 injections of insulin a day. When he eats and his blood is out of whack, he will always say it is something he ate that made his blood sugar go up. he will not allow anyone to tell him all this diet stuff is doing it. It is hard to get him to drink a glass of water. He tells me he does at work. I am not sure cause he sure doesnt at home. I just had to back off because when you are an adult and want to do whatever it is its not easy on your wife/mother/partner to take care of you. Unfortunately aspartame is in many more foods than we even can think of. Its sad.

Even if I know that diet colas could be a lot better than drinking the regular colas, still I do not take the diet colas. I do not like the taste. It tastes like a stale cola for me.

I know I shouldn't drink diet sodas and I have gone months without drinking diet soda. I like to drink diet soad rather than regular soda, because I don't want all those calories. I don't drink as much soda as I use to and I have slowly cut down again. I will not say that I will never drink diet soda again, because I know that I will. I know it's so bad for me too. I've changed a lot about my diet except for this. I know diet soda can cause cancer just as well as any other processed food.

I've been aware of the risks of aspartame for quite some time, I don't drink diet soda. Unfortunatly aspartame is found in many things including almost all gums and mints. Also if we researched all the things that are added to our food and its side effects we would not really have very much to eat anymore. It is a sad situation that alot of our food is slowly poisoning us and most people don't realize this is why they do not feel well.

no i don't. i am very slim when was a teenage but when i was a pregnant i became fat.

i dont drink diet drinks i don't like the taste of them. i don't drink sodas very often at all either. I'm a water girl. i love water.

How can people stand to drink anything with aspartame? By the taste alone, you can tell its not meant for consumption. Its like eating pesticides. That's what the taste makes me think of.

Hi for me I do not drink Diet Sodas, I know the fake suger is real bad for people,I rather stick with normal Soda and when I do buy suger free stuff fro friend who have to have it I try to make sure aspartame is not in it. thank for those link you posted.

I do not drink soda's at all. Might be that if you take in those large (over) doses you do get health problems. But to be honest I think everything you eat or drink too much will do so. Poisoning is officially: taking too much of something. So you can get sick/poisoned/die of too much water, cauliflower, bread, soup, etc. BTW I lately read a study that proved that children drinking diet soda's were losing weight. Not because of the aspartame (or other fake sugar in it) but because after drinking it their body/brains did see it as an intake of sugar and there was no need for wanting/eating sugar (which causes a lose of weight).

Im a coffee drinker here, never really been any kind of soda drinker. Even some diet ones taste to sweat to me. Take care there...

It doesn't give us good taste but it lessen the calories intake. But if you are a health conscious you will take the healthy drink instead of diet sodas... anyway thanks for the information.
