Question

Are there any long-term risks associated with too much diet coke consumption?

Answer 1

Tooth decay.

Bone density loss.

Can't really fix those things once you've messed them up.

Answer 2

diet soda's contain aspartame which does not get processed in your organs so it just sits their and accumulates which leads to health problems , like cancer.

Answer 3

Another issue - the fake sugar in diet drinks is shown to increase hunger which causes you to eat more, thus eliminating any benefit you would get from not consuming the sugar.

Answer 4

Hi,

I have been thinking about this question too. It IS proved that aspartame can cause cancer, but only in lab. So what really aspartame is doing to us, we still don't know. Besides, coke is a very acidic drink, which is not good for your digestive system, either...

But here is the thing, I LOVE diet coke/Pepsi!!! So when I drink soft drinks, I go for "diet". And everything will have some sort of "risk" if you consume too much.

So if you really like the taste of diet coke, I would say "Go for it!" (just not too much :p)

Cheers!

This goes for pretty much every diet soft drink on the market.
