[motion]

I knew it was pretty bad for me, but after reading this, I'm going to cut out my one can per day habit. No mas!

Diet soda is doing these 7 awful things to your body - TODAY Health

[Jim Richards]

Yikes! Thankfully I don't indulge in that rat pizz.

Good for you, I am estatic another person gives up diet anything.

The sweetner in diet stuff is usually aspartame, its toxic to human consumption. it is also in Nutrasweet and Splenda.

If you don't believe me google aspartame.

Another dooping from our good ol' FDA.

If you got to drink soda drink regular Coke, at least it has sugar and plenty of it. Better yet don't drink any soda, your body and mind will thank you.

[Jim Richards]

Sugar, or high fructose corn syrup? I believe it makes a difference.

I've cut way back from multiple large Coke zero a day.. Right now it's one or two a week. Drinking coffee and tea now...

[pegasus9]

dropping sodas will also lower your blood pressure.

[porsche4life]

Nah.... My customers are making sure it stays up there....

[pegasus9]

yeah there's no getting away from that.

[porsche4life]

Ya.... My job would be great.... If I didn't have to deal with customers.

[gatotom]

porsche4life, maybe its time for some of that herbal stuff that you can get here in this state on a medical prescription.

I saw this a while ago and it really sums it up. Food (and drink) should be made in a kitchen, not a lab.

There is no aspertame in Splenda. Totaly different process in manufacturing.

There are very very few commercial soft drinks that don't contain aspertame. The only one that I have found that is made with Splenda is Nestea Zero.

I switched to regular Coke about a month ago.

Diet Coke is my fav of all time..I've been caffeine free again for about three months , except for DC when I'm at a bar..Since I don't drink its the only thing I like when in a drinking environment.. Why caffeine free now; sometimes when I eat home a couple days in a row, I start getting the headache..I'll be like , why is my head hurting ?, oh, I haven't had caffeine in a couple days.Then I'll quit, have a headache for two more days , and be normal again...
I figure anything that effects your body that bad, can't be good

My body fluid contains at least.....99% of this:

tldr; saw the headline on fark - it mentioned one of the 7 was getting you drunk quicker/easier, so it should really be 6 things....

[rattlsnak]

Just showed this to my wife.. She laughed and said none if it was true.






p.s. She works for Coke..

Soda pop is nasty to me. Barley pop, well that is just fine.

Mexican Coke has real sugar in it, as does the Dr Pepper you can get near where they ostensibly invented it in Texas. Most soda pop has HFCS

A wee bit hard when you hit the hotel room at 8pm with two hours of emails to send, and the phone calls start rolling in at 7 the next morning....

aspartame would not be approved if Donald Rumsfeld hadn't influenced the FDA Chair through his prior relationships during the Reagan administrations.

It's amazing the **** that americans will put in their bodies.
