By reducing the sugar in diet cola, cola companies are reducing only one bad thing in cola drinks.
there is still the large amount of carbon dioxide in the cola.. a very acidic medium that harms our teeth and oral flora!
there are still chemicals in there which we shouldnt have. and colas dont have an ounce of benefit in terms of nutrition.
if we balance harms with benefits of colas, harms outweigh benefits.
to top it all, in diet colas, they charge us higher for removing a bad thing wchich they themsleves had added in the first place!
i love cola drinks... with all their fizz and stuff! because i love the taste. but i know they do me no good!
so do many people who smoke - they do it for the taste and the feeling it gives them, even when they know it is harmful! and the cigarette companies make no tall claims saying they are doing you a favour! why can't the cola companies also issue a statutory warning saying 'colas are harmful... drink at your own risk'?

i think that not only coco-cola but all the cool drink companies are cheating us by giving unhealthy drink and spoiling our health conditions. And the scientist have proved that and after that they have kept quiet As if they doesn't know anything as they have closed the case and the cool drinks are once again into the market.

I think colas are okay in moderation. If you drink diet colas all day long and that is it, then you are doing yourself more harm then good but if you drank too much of anything, it would be the same. Cola companies have to add that fizz and the chemicals so that the soda tastes good.
