I love drinking diet coke but is it ok to drink?!


Question: I love drinking diet coke but is it ok to drink!?
I have a question about diet coke!

I often drink diet coke and I am thinking it is ok to drink them since it is "diet" and has no calories and no sugar!.

I know there are some problems with diet coke but my question would be, "Am I going to gain my weight by drinking this!?"

Thanks!!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
It won't make you gain weight itself, no!.

It's not healthy though, just because it has no calories or fat!. There's a school of thought that diet sodas actually increase a person's tendency to gain weight (I am not sure of the science behind this, something to do with the artificial sweetener and the fizz too)!.

There's also the colour - that brown stuff ain't good for your teeth!

I am a diet coke drinker too - I don't drink tea or coffee so it's my only intake of caffeine (that's how I allow myself it!) but I do limit myself to one can a day (sometimes two if it's a tired day)!. I would say that I am a bit addicted to it!. I do feel guilty for drinking it sometimes, however, I think there are much worse things to drink and if you're generally healthy with the food you eat - loads of fruit and veg, pulses and lean meats, and you exercise, why not drink diet coke now and again if you enjoy it!?!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Diet coke doesn't have calories but it does have chemicals that make your body store fat from the other calories you consume!. It also has artificial sweeteners that have been linked to cancer and chemicals that leech nutrients from your bones!. It will most likely not make you gain weight, but it is unhealthy!. It's not going to kill you if you drink it in moderation, but it's best to stick to water if you're worried about your weight!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I dont see you gaining any weight from it but you can become addicted to the aspartin in it!. It happens quite frequently, if you find yourself having headaches or irritablility like withdraw symptoms when you havent drank any in awhile you may be addicted to it, but weight gain, no!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You want to drink your Diet Coke, go right ahead, who are we to tell you what you can do or can't, just remember the story of the penny in the coke glass, You can have anything as long as it's in moderation!. There are still additives in it!.

Its still soda, and it's still bad for your teeth and stuff!.
And all soda causes wait gain!.!. Diet just doesn't cause as much because its made with fake sugar (which blocks your sugar receptors and has been a cause for cancer!)
