Is diet soda really that bad for you?!

diet soda is bad for you just like regular soda it can give you heart problems. it's ok to have only if it's like you drink it once a week

One thing that is bad for is your teeth. No matter if it is regular or diet, soda has such a high level of acidity that it attacks your teeth. I was just reading in a pamphlet at my dentist that each time you take a drink, the acid in soda breaks down your tooth enamel for 20 minutes. And each time you take a drink, it starts all over. It causes major tooth decay.

yes

Nothing is that bad in moderation. 2-4 cans a day doesn't sound like a lot; it's not like you're going through 6 two liter bottles a day.

I don't worry about its causing cancer either, but more just that there are healthier alternatives that you probably aren't drinking because you're choosing soda instead. But if you don't have any health problems and you're active and not overweight, a little diet soda isn't going to kill you.

Diet soda may have less calories than the regular soda but it is not good for you. Diet soda contains a artificial sweetener called Aspartame which most health experts can say that it is not good for your health.

Drinking 2-4 cans of DIET pepsi is just realllllly unhealthy. I limit myself to 1 can of soda per week.

I recommend that you switch to drinking regular Pepsi. Regular Pepsi doesn't contain man-made flavors.

However, there is no evidence that diet pepsi can be unhealthier than regular soda or healthier.

I have heard the artificial sweetener will actually make you crave more sugar. I also heard artificial sweetener causes cancer.It gives me a headache so I can't use it.

Yep

Any soda is bad for you. but artificial sweetners are just as bad, if not worse than the sugar in the regular stuff. i say go bad to the regular, or dont drink it at all
