Is Diet Soda bad for you?

[PatBateman]

I never used to drink diet soda except when I ate out, and then it was always diet coke. Well, I started just drinking water always, but I wonder if this is going overboard? I mean, diet coke is listed as having 0 carbs, 0 sugars, 0 calories. However, I wonder if the diet coke at restaurants is the same???

 

[Babyfaced Assassin]

no they make a special kind for restaurants with sugar in it
j/k bro yeah its all the same
it just tastes different cos they usually serve it with ice which waters it down somewhat

The occassional diet soda isn't going to hurt much....but watch out if you're running keto because some people are really sensitive to artificial sweeteners (aspartame, etc.,).

 

[Diesel3d]

also consider diet soda has sodium in it.

Both Saccharin and Aspartame have been shown to have a negative effect on brain cells. Another one of those things in life that should be approached with moderation.

yes.

blood acidity rises due to carbonic acid, calcium is needed to buffer that acidity. if you arent getting much in your diet, your body will seek out calcium elsewhere...ie bones. thats why teenage girls are discouraged from drinking soda excessively. not a good situation for them later in life.

[Babyfaced Assassin]

im not taking a calcium sup but i know i should
i wonder if im getting enough from my food but i've cut my dairy down to a minimum (really i have one tub of cottage cheese and a splash of milk in my afternoon coffee thats it)

what foods have high calcium apart from dairy?
