Are diet soda's really good for you?
is a diet soda better for you than a regular one...such as dr. pepper and diet dr. pepper...can it help you lose weight?
Answers:
No they are not good for you. Most have more sodium, which will have you retain more fluid and weight.
Good for you..know? Low calorie and less sugar than regular..yes. It will not help you to lose weight outright, if you consume less calories per day than you burn you will lose weight.
There are a lot of chemical in diet soda. Water is a healthy substitute.
nope none of them are good for you.and no they can not help you lose weight. if they did we all would be skinny
neither kind of soda is good for you. they are a bunch of chemicals put together that are toxic to the body. for beverages, stick to water and teas, if you really wanna lose weight and not get sick further down the road
Well, unless you're diabetic, comsuming large amounts of aspartame, such as through diet colas, can make you quite ill. You're almost better off just drinking regular colas in moderation, or quitting altogether. Many people I know have said that they've lost a lot of weight just by cutting colas out of their diets completely.
Okay I don't know if it's true or not but I heard that diet soda is not good for you because it has a lot of preservatives that can cause health problems. I recommend something like maybe ice tea or water.
Yes you can lose weight however, you won't lose the weight as quickly as you would if you were just drinking water. Diet soda has salt (which makes you retain water) and the carbonation isn't good for dieting either. However, it's diet because it is made with artificial sweetener and not sugar like regular soda.
NO DIET SODA'S ARE NOT GOOD FOR YOU!!! it is a common misconseption that diet sodas will help you lose weight, but really they trick you in to thinking you can eat more because you are drinking fewer calories. ultimatly you will gain weight by drinking them. the artificial sweetners in them cause cancer and brain damage. DON'T DRINK THEM.
I've heard that there is something in artificial sweeteners that makes you feel hungry. I can't back it up with any proof though. Maybe it's just that you feel so unsatisfied from drinking something that really doesn't taste very good that you end up craving a tastier treat. I do know that if you're trying to quit soda a great heathy substitute is seltzer water mixed with 100% fruit juice. Mix it half and half at first, then cut it back little by little until you're just adding a splash of juice to a tall glass of soda. It worked for me and I used to drink 3-4 sodas a day.
no
diet soda's are not good, sodas aren't really good for your health... BUT its better than drinking regular sodas... it doesnt help you lose weight either.. its just to boost your energy..
Welll...let's put it THIS WAY:
Coke can take the paint off cars and dissolve pennies......
How healthy is THAT?
No, they are empty calories. They provide no vitamins or minerals. Some provide caffeine. They sure are good though.
NO, the gas contributes to cellulite

Nope I think diet is worse because it contains aspartame. Few of the many disorders associated with aspartame include the following:
Birth Defects
A study funded by Monsanto to study possible birth defects caused by consuming aspartame was cut off after preliminary data showed damaging information about aspartame. Additionally, in the book, While Waiting: A Prenatal Guidebook, it is stated that aspartame is suspected of causing brain damage in sensitive individuals. A fetus may be at risk for these effects. Some researchers have suggested that high doses of aspartame may be associated with problems ranging from dizziness and subtle brain changes to mental retardation.
Cancer (Brain Cancer)
In 1981, an FDA statistician stated that the brain tumor data on aspartame was so "worrisome" that he could not recommend approval of NutraSweet.(14)
In a two-year study conducted by the manufacturer of aspartame, twelve of 320 rats fed a normal diet and aspartame developed brain tumors while none of the control rats developed tumors, and five of the twelve tumors were in rats given a low dose of aspartame.(15)
The approval of aspartame was a violation of the Delaney Amendment, which was supposed to prevent cancer-causing substances such as methanol (formaldehye) and DKP from entering our food supply. A late FDA toxicologist testified before the U.S. Congress that aspartame was capable of producing brain tumors. This made it illegal for the FDA to set an allowable daily intake at any level. He stated in his testimony that Searle's studies were "to a large extent unreliable" and that "at least one of those studies has established beyond any reasonable doubt that aspartame is capable of inducing brain tumors in experimental animals ... " He concluded his testimony by asking, "What is the reason for the apparent refusal by the FDA to invoke for this food additive the so-called Delaney Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act? ... And if the FDA itself elects to violate the law, who is left to protect the health of the public?"(16)
In the mid-1970s it was discovered that the manufacturer of aspartame falsified studies in several ways. One of the techniques used was to cut tumors out of test animals and put them back in the study. Another technique used to falsify the studies was to list animals that had actually died as surviving the study. Thus, the data on brain tumors was likely worse than discussed above. In addition, a former employee of the manufacturer of aspartame told the FDA on July 13, 1977 that the particles of DKP were so large that the rats could discriminate between the DKP and their normal diet.(12)
Diabetes
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is actually recommending this chemical poison to persons with diabetes, but according to research conducted by a diabetes specialist, aspartame: 1) Leads to the precipitation of clinical diabetes. 2) Causes poorer diabetic control in diabetics on insulin or oral drugs. 3) Leads to the aggravation of diabetic complications such as retinopathy, cataracts, neuropathy and gastroparesis. 4) Causes convulsions.
In a statement concerning the use of products containing aspartame by persons with diabetes and hypoglycemia, the researchers says:
"Unfortunately, many patients in my practice, and others seen in consultation, developed serious metabolic, neurologic and other complications that could be specifically attributed to using aspartame products. This was evidenced by the loss of diabetic control, the intensification of hypoglycemia, the occurrence of presumed 'insulin reactions' (including convulsions) that proved to be aspartame reactions, and the precipitation, aggravation or simulation of diabetic complications (especially impaired vision and neuropathy) while using these products ... Dramatic improvement of such features after avoiding aspartame, and the prompt predictable recurrence of these problems when the patient resumed aspartame products, knowingly or inadvertently."
Another researcher stated that excitotoxins such as those found in aspartame can precipitate diabetes in persons who are genetically susceptible to the disease.(5)
Emotional Disorders
In a double blind study of the effects of aspartame on persons with mood disorders, findings showed a large increase in serious symptoms for persons taking aspartame. Since some of the symptoms were so serious, the Institutional Review Board had to stop the study. Three of the participants had said that they had been "poisoned" by aspartame. Researchers concluded that "individuals with mood disorders are particularly sensitive to this artificial sweetener; its use in this population should be discouraged."(18) One researcher stated about aspartame, "I know it causes seizures. I'm convinced also that it definitely causes behavioral changes. I'm very angry that this substance is on the market. I personally question the reliability and validity of any studies funded by the NutraSweet Company."(19)
Additionally, there are numerous reported cases of low brain serotonin levels, depression and other emotional disorders that have been linked to aspartame and often are relieved by stopping the intake of aspartame.
Epilepsy/Seizures
With the large and growing number of seizures caused by aspartame, it is sad to see that the Epilepsy Foundation is promoting the "safety" of aspartame. At Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 80 people who had suffered seizures after ingesting aspartame were surveyed. Community Nutrition Institute concluded the following about the survey:
"These 80 cases meet the FDA's own definition of an imminent hazard to the public health, which requires the FDA to expeditiously remove a product from the market."
Both the Air Force's magazine, Flying Safety, and the Navy's magazine, Navy Physiology, published articles warning about the many dangers of aspartame including the cumulative delirious effects of methanol and the greater likelihood of birth defects. The articles note that the ingestion of aspartame can make pilots more susceptible to seizures and vertigo. Twenty articles sounding warnings about ingesting aspartame while flying have also appeared in the National Business Aircraft Association Digest (NBAA Digest 1993), Aviation Medical Bulletin (1988), The Aviation Consumer (1988), Canadian General Aviation News (1990), Pacific Flyer (1988), General Aviation News (1989), Aviation Safety Digest (1989), and Plane & Pilot (1990) and a paper warning about aspartame was presented at the 57th Annual Meeting of the Aerospace Medical Association (Gaffney 1986).
A hotline was even set up for pilots suffering from acute reactions to aspartame ingestion. Over 600 pilots have reported symptoms including some who have reported suffering grand mal seizures in the cockpit due to aspartame.(21)
no they have a ingredient in it that can case cancer.
