NO!!

Diet Coke is shit. Way too much phosphoric acid, all kinds of sweeteners. Stay away from it.

I agree, I used to think it was ok to drink diet soda but after stopping them noticed i feel and look better.  Plus I hear that the phosphoris pulls calcium from your system and bones.  Also anything an aluminum can Iam leary about.

The sweeteners im ok with even though im sure water would be best, so I recomend those drinks like crystal lite.

Agreed. Don't even smell that shit man, too much aspatame.

The used to use aspatame to kill POW's in Japan but found out it was too expensive and used syonide instead.

That's the main point. Also the CO2 isn't very good if you drink too much.

Yeah, aspartame is pure poison.

BTW, coke, especially diet coke tastes like shit.

I know exactly what you mean. I stopped drinking pop/soda this year. I lost five pounds in about a week.

hahahaha, how much pop were you fvcking drinking to lose 5lbs in a week after quitting? Ill slam a dew here and there but ive never lost a significant amount of weight just cutting pop.

Anyway, I tried to drink diet pop for something to stimulate the taste buds but it always, always made me feel like shit if i drank it consistantly. Crystal light is definately the way to go.

 I hate that "sugar free" shit! It makes me feel SICK.
Hey, how long have humans been eating sugar? OK, how long aspartame been around?
 If your not fat, or trying to get riped, a real soft drink aint gonna kill you.

Ever notice how many REALLY FAT Peeps drink lots of that diet shit and STAY FAT?
I swear it causes extra water retention.

It's not water retention. I posted a while back that when you drink these diet drinks or anything with artificial sweetners , it will tell your taste buds that , " sweet stuff has arrived," which to the brain means, " nutrition has arrived." When the artificially sweetened drink or food reaches the small intestine, the receptors find no nutrition. A message is sent back to the brain saying, " There is nothing here, we've been tricked." The appestat (the part of your brain that triggers satiety) sends a message to " keep eating because we need nutrition to help process all this fake food and run our body."
 So they just tend to eat more and more crap food on top of that.

Thanks, and that is exactly what they do... eat more crap!
I've just noticed way to many VERY FAT people who drink a lot of it.
Drinking It makes me honestly feel ill.Nausea/ Headache. I have low Body Fat naturally and tend to go hypo fast if I don't eat regularly.
That diet pop is poison  to me.  A little real sugar isn't going to harm me.
Even w/ out the science guy can tell somethings up w/ those "Diet" drinks.
