I never thought I'd like Diet Soda, but now I can't stand reg. Thoughts?!
Answers: Regular tastes like I'm drinking flat soda with syrup in it.
I have discovered that after shifting to Diet drinks, I find the sugar drinks too sweet. It is a common cause for most people who switch. However, you will find yourself drinking more Diet Soda than you would regular, as you will have less guilt of doing it. The nutritional values table on the back is nothing but zeros.
The truth is that no Soda Drink is good for you. Soda drinks do not serve a purpose for your body. The carbon makes you more thirsty, the acid is bad for your teeth and stomach, and the chemicals are not natural.
It is best to have natural drinks, such as wine, water or juice.
Like you, I like the Soda drink as well, but I have taken my soda taste one more level; Soda Water. It has the same qualities of a Soda, without all the added Chemicals and acids. It is not a thirst quencher either, but it is much less harmful to you than Diets. This is a bit tougher for most Americans, and as a European born, I was introduced to Soda Water at a young age. It really is an acquired taste, but can be addicting just like Diet Soda, without the negative side effects.
Take care!
I prefer diet soda over regular, it is a taste thing. So I agree with you.
You are now officially hooked.
I am the same way! I love diet drinks...they taste better!
I think diet soda is pointless as it still has nasty chemicals in it. Especially when people get diet drinks w/ fast food. Nutra sweet gives me migraines, and personally i dont like any of them, except an occasional Mt Dew.
Diet soda has a nasty after taste. >.<
Also Diet soda is alot more unhealthy then regular...
It's the fake sugars..
Drink caffeen free sodas like sprite and squirt. They be tasty!!
Welcome to the club, John Q.
It's carbohydrates. Regular soda is garbage (not that diet is any better) because it is dumping a can of empty calories in carbonation, to slow down your metabolism, into your body.
I know I'm a hypocrite, like everybody else, but you need to stay away from regular soda, at least. After a short amount of time, you don't taste a difference, but you feel one.
its a lot better for your teeth so you can avoid the dentist more often
really the the total opposite!! after drinking reg. for the longest time i cant stand Diet Soda but thats just me..
I started using diet soda around 1959 when we first heard about it. Come to think of it, I have had only 5-6 in the past year. Now I drink iced tea with Equal or Splenda.
