Is it true Diet Soda's fake sugar can turn into some type of embalming fluid?

Question

I drink a lot of Diet Soda (coke and DR. Pepper), my friends say it has some fake sugar that your body can't digest fully, and the stuff you can digest turns into some liquid or slime that is equivlilent to Embalming Fluid... Is this true? Am i slowly killing myself by drinking Diet Soda's?!

Answer 1

I don't know any of the scientific stuff about diet soda, but I DO know that ever since I switched to it several years ago, I have had constant bladder infections. I stopped drinking it about 6 months ago and have not had a bladder infection since. My Dr. said it was because of the caffiene, but it seemed to be the same even when I drank decaffeinated soda.

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

Yes don't drink it because where does the fake sugar go???

Answer 4

yes that means the one's that are not diet are better even though there not that healthy

Answer 5

This sounds like a myth to me.

Answer 6

No, that can't be true... if it were, wouldn't all the chronic diet soda drinkers (like myself) be dead right now? Sheesh.

Diet soda isn't exactly a nutritious drink, but if you only have 1 - 2 cans per day it shouldn't affect your health.

Answer 7

I don't know, but a long time ago I was once told by someone that she saw a story on television about someone that died who drank mostly diet soda and when the person's autopsy was performed, the person's organs were almost perfectly preserved.
