whats wrong with diet sodas?

Here's what's wrong with it: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.

yes. controlling your arm is very easy to do. and the jaw muscles are quite easy to control as well.


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....

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.

[candidate2025]

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.

[D.L. 5]

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.

[davidpaul]

normal coke is better

[webcake]

Coke zero is the best.

[CalvinH]

normal coke is better
