Is diet soda bad for you?

Question

I have heard many people say that diet soda is bad for people, but I really don't understand why. Can someone please explain it to me?

I really want to know because I have a diet coke every day.

Answer 1

Artificial sweetener in excess can lead to cancer.  Carbonated water in excess weakens the bones and makes them brittle.  Studies have also shown that diet soda leads to weight gain.

Answer 2

There are rumors that diet soda (specifically, aspartamene, an artificial sweetener) causes cancer.

If you have one diet soda a day, it wont kill you.

Answer 3

Soda, period, is bad for you. Including your oral health.

Diet, caffeine free, ... none of it matters as much as people think.

If you are going to drink soda, stick to Sprite or 7 Up. There is no syrup in them, or half the c**p they put in Coke, Pepsi, Root Beer. Darker colored sodas are worse for you.

If you really want something sweet to drink, get flavored water instead. Thats what I switched to.

Answer 4

yes
