Answer 2

Soda in general is not at all healthy. Just think, this stuff is used to dissolve nuts and bolts and strip paint by many mechanics, is that really something you want to put into your body??

Diet soda is considered better by dieters because of the lower sugar and calorie count, however it has aspartame and other artificial sweeteners that can cause a slew of health problems, and the higher up it is in the ingredients list on the bottle the more of it there is in the product.

It's also so acidic that daily doses of this stuff is extremely hard on the stomach lining.  Take a look at the label, see all that stuff you can't pronounce? It's mostly chemicals.  Why would a person want to drink chemicals??

A better choice would be to buy a bottle of water and sweeten it with a crystal light packet.  Very tasty! (It still has aspartame in it but it's a very minute amount compared to diet sodas.)
