Diet softdrink?

Question

Can you drink too much diet softdrink - or are there long term repacussions? What if you substitute it for drinking water?

Answer 1

Science is so far inconclusive on the long term effects of excessive consumption of diet soft drinks. But needless to say, there are plenty of low calorie not-too-sweet drinks that are known to be healthy and safe. I prefer seltzer with either orange juice or a bit of lemon or lime juice, myself.

Answer 2

Long term is said to give you cancer, but yeah right. I believe you are fine to drink whatever you want. Everything seems to cause cancer and other ailments. Meat, poultry, etc etc.

So, DRINK UP!! You do need to drink 8 glasses of water daily, this includes tea and coffee and water made drinks.

Answer 3

Most diet sodas have aspartame in it, which is said to cause cancers and nasty things.

It's just as bad for you as regular sodas though. :]

I drink one or two sodas a day max, and replace everything else with Crystal Lite and Lipton water flavors.
