Is it OK that I drink 2 liter of cola a day?

Question

I drink at least 2 L of caffeine free diet coke per day. From all the sites telling you that soda is bad for you the concern is either the sugar ( not present in diet) or the amount of caffeine (also not present in the soda I Drink).

I know some people have trouble with aspertame and I'm aware of the symptoms to look for in aspertame poisioning. Is there anything else about drinking soda vs H2O?

Plain filtered water makes my stomach feel sick so I stick with the soda.

Answer 1

not really. i see that you can't drink water and have to drink cola instead but why do u have to drink so much? Why don't you drink less and replace some of it with juice or milk or some other non-soda drink?

Answer 2

Very bad for you

Answer 3

Way too much caffiene. You need more water or else you'll dehydrate. it doesn't matter that its diluted your still drinking way too much soda! And its a very bad habit that you have gotten in to, you need to drink way more water you need to have atleast 8oz. of water

Answer 4

No. if you drank soda every day of your life starting off when you were at the age of 2 your teeth would rot out completely. drink water. d rink the tap water if the filtered water is upsetting you. or just buy bottled water.

Answer 5

High fructose corn syrup is illegal in the UK because it's so bad for you. (They actually have to use real sugar, which is why it doesn't taste as good. )

If you are not living in the UK read these

Answer 6

It IS bad.  You're drinking a bunch of chemicals and I'd be more worried about the ASPARTAME which many believe causes cancer.   Of all the people I know who drank lots and lots of diet cola, they have ended up with very weird health problems in the long run.

Of course if they have one bad food habit they likely have many more.

Drink water.  That's all you need. CHILL it, throw a lime or lemon wedge in it.

And cola has LOTS of acid which is what really rots your teeth.

The worst cola for acid is Mountain Dew. My dentist told me that!!!

Your stomach likely feels sick because it's overly sensitized by all that cola.  All that acid and caffeine and whatever is in there can really mess up your stomach and if you have an ulcer it will send you over the edge in excruciating pain.

Answer 7

if it doesn't bother you you should be fine just watch for signs of stomach upset which doesn't seem to be a problem for you anyhow so go ahead and enjoy coca-cola

Answer 8

i think that something pure and natural makes you feel bad. Maybe its because you find water less interesting or because you are hungry when you drink.  I think soda is a bad habbit and you should try and limit it either way.  I bet if you stuck with water, your odd feeling would go away.  

If you think about it, its the most pure thing in the world....

Answer 9

The carbonated water is terrible for your teeth. All the chemicals in the soda - coloring, flavoring, sweetener, etc. are all unnatural substances which are no good for your body as well- they are essentially poisons which your body has to work to eliminate every day.

If you can't handle water, at least go with something besides soda. Maybe sparkling water mixed with some juice or something to that effect.
