Does Diet Coke really disentegrate your stomach lining?
I have heard this rumor.
Answers:
I have heard that however, you have acids in your stomach than can burn through carpet. Can soda do that? I think you will be fine. You should stop drinking it just because it's bad for you.
Have you ever seen what it will do to a raw piece of meat? If not give it a whirl and then imagine you tummy.
i know someone who used to take an adattive to coke and it was so caustic they ad to have it on a pallet secured in middle of a lorry with police escort!!!!!i have two front teeth corroded one is now crowned thanks to coke n pepsi!!!!and yes i do have stomach problems that are made bad when i drink coke so much so i take strong painkillers with the drink.why drink it you ask?i think i am addicted i weaned of minimum of 6 cans a day to 1 or 2!!!its on news that pepsi max has summat in that switches off dna!!!thats a worry.
The fact of the matter is that it is possible. There is a substance used in diet colas to make them taste the same as the regular kind... But the only way it will give u a stomach ulser is if u were to drink about 3 jugs of it a day and if ur family and u urself had a history of stomach ulsers. A recomendation though is not to eat fat free chips, they cause anal leakage! ew!
As for what toungeincheek said about his personal experiance with it dont believe it.... It only corodes ur teath if u dont take proper care of them... and the reason it hurts his stomach is merely from some sort of afliction that was aided by the soda's then when it got bad enough the carbin in the drink made it hurt b/c it was like putting salt in an open wound! Just plain stupid. Thats whats called being way far away from a happy medium. And as far as his frend with the police escort dont believe that eather. Huge truck loads go all around the world with sodas and they dont need police escorts! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD OF A SODA TRUCK GET HIGHJACKED AND ALL THE SODAS STOLEN!!!
