Which is better diet dark soda or regular clear soda?

Question

Which is better for you: a diet dark soda, like Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke, or a regular clear soda, like 7-Up or Sierra Mist? I don't mean calorie-wise because that's obvious. It seems like fast food restaurants only offer a diet dark soda but it tends to upset my stomach. I find when I get the regular clear soda I don't have this problem. Is there a reason for this? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

I have a feeling that the clear sugared sodas would win over the dark diet ones on two fronts.

The coloring while not bad probably is not good for you.

Artifician Sweeteners are not good for you. Too much sugar is not good for you either so moderation is important. There has been some indication though, that artificial sweeteners can make problems like Fibromyalsia worse.

Answer 2

diet soda of any kind is better than regular because of the sugar content. it doesnt matter if its clear or not cuz the color is just molasses

Answer 3

Nothing Diet... It has aspartame in it. A quote by http://www.lightparty.com/Health/DietCok...

"Reality is in that twisted Diet coke can. It's poison. It's killing the unborn, raining tumors and seizures on the population, destroying children, incapacitating workers, mimicking MS, erasing memory and blinding. Inexorably Diet Coke visits a plague of 92 symptoms listed by our FDA on a secret report they'll never show which names diet soda as the first source of aspartame disease. And yes, Death was one of the 92."

Answer 4

soda offers no nutritional health benefits.  stick to water, juices and low fat milk.  try soy milk as well.

Answer 5

Soda is always not the best try juice or water. Dark ones stain your teeth...I have no clue I'm sorry.

Answer 6

What if someone is coming at you with a knife and you're drinking your regular pepsi.  You're done for.  Crystal pepsi you can see them and you stand a chance.

Answer 7
