They load it with Kamali's arm genes and Shawn Ray's good karma.

Turns out there's a lot of zeroes on that label...

Diet cola is 99% water.  When they first rolled it out, they didn't want to use that as a marketing tool because they figured "who would want to pay that much for something this is just water?"  Now that bottled water is huge, it's practically an advertisment for the product.

some fucking wierd chemycials called like phykeleronits or something.

all diet sodas have them now. i am pretty sure that its a chemical that signals your taste buds, but has not nutritional value. so you not tasting anything, you just think you. but whats the dif. right?


most have zero calories, no sugars, zero carbs, zero fats, zero proteins.......little bit of sodium.

Diet coke can says:

Carbonated water, caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural flavors, apartame,

potassium benzoate, potassium citrate, acesulfame potassium, and caffeine.

It goes from the ingredient thats most abundant to least abundant.

no not at all.




are you saying that there is something wrong with drinkin a beverage that has ZERO calories and has caffiene, which stimuhlates the metabolism, in it to be bad? that is basically NEGATIVE calories.

mm Pepsi max is my favorite too, aspartam tastes better than sucralose.

I don't like how regular soda makes you full and it doesn't taste as good, just tastes like sugar.
Title: Re: WTF are they making Diet Cola with?
Post by: djohnsen on September 05, 2007, 01:02:15 PM
It's called Aspartam. Artificial sweetener. Google it, it's quite scary
that people drink diet coke... Regular coke is in fact more healthy

Here's what's wrong with it:http://www.usaweekend.com/05_issues/050724/050724healthsmart.html (http://www.usaweekend.com/05_issues/050724/050724healthsmart.html)

Studies show that you are more likely to be fat if you drink diet soda than regular soda.  Not from the soda, of course, but because people think that since they are drinking "diet" soda, they can overindulge elsewhere.  Also, if you have too few nutrients in your system (even simple sugars), your body craves food, especially carbs and fats.

as long as your arm muscles dont have a mind of their own and your jaw is in working order...you can follow a diet without any problem=

you are not telling the full story..one of the later paragraphs

"Another theory, which I think is right on the mark, is that we develop a certain mind-set in which we believe that because diet soda is calorie-free, we have license to eat other foods more liberally. As a result, even though the soda may be calorie-neutral, the diet produces a calorie surplus. "


let me get 2 big macs, super size fries, 3 apple pies...and oh yea, a diet coke.

the aspartame, or the phenylallaline (not sure on the spelling), in the aspartame causes some problems. 

studies have linked it to cancer...
studies have linked it to mental retardation...
studies have linked it to slowing down the metabolism...

now of course people will argue studies are wrong all the time, but im just throwing out the information for people to look at.

i also heard that aspartame is given to chickens in their feed somehow in order to fatten them up, so maybe the food industry realizes that aspartame may be linked to getting fatter through slowing down the metabolism.

it is better to not drink soda at all, diet or regular.  i still drink diet soda though because its tough not to have something else to drink besides water.


phenylalanine is an amino acid which naturally occurs in many food (one of the two amino acids that make up aspartame).... people with PKU can not metabolize and many individuals are sensitive to it (they get headaches, etc)...

i love my coke zero....  ;D

1. The sun causes cancer. Shit inside your own body can grow cancer... so cancer it up dude. The point there is almost everything can cause cancer. don't let some shitbag study keep you from drinking something. Your going to die anyways and I doubt it will be from diet coke.

2. Thats ridiculous.

3. Workout like a real man, bitch about slow metabolism less.

dude if u want stimulant before workout, just buy caffeine tabs. they are cheap and u wont have to drink all that fluid. one tablet equals three coffees worth of caffeine.

i have "ripped fuelEXTREME" a bottle of ephedrine and green tea extract.


if i am ever feeling down ill take a combo of those with some aspirin.


normally i only use that in the morning before my emppty stomach cardio.
Title: Re: WTF are they making Diet Cola with?
Post by: D.L. 5 on September 07, 2007, 04:06:23 AM
lucky bastard, ephedrine is banned and u got an official product with it lol.

i would avoid stimulants at all costs...however pre-workout for one workout per week is fine.

stay away from them, they stress the body out and waste muscle over time.
