Answer 4

I don't think most experts say don't drink diet soda. But don't reward yourself with a piece of cake because you had a diet pepsi. There is a lot of hearsay these days about diet soda being bad for you. The reality is regular soda contains a LOT of sugar and will spike your insulin and possibly cause fat gain. So if you can't stand drinking water all the time, Diet Soda is an excellent replacement
