Diet pop VS regular pop

[trackrat59]

From the Mayo Clinic:

Drinking a reasonable amount of diet soda a day, such as a can or two, isn't likely to hurt you. The artificial sweeteners and other chemicals currently used in diet soda are safe for most people, and there's no credible evidence that these ingredients cause cancer. Some types of diet soda are even fortified with vitamins and minerals. But diet soda isn't a health drink or a silver bullet for weight loss. Although switching from regular soda to diet soda may save you calories, some studies suggest that drinking more than one soda a day — regular or diet — increases your risk of obesity and related health problems such as type 2 diabetes.

In order of bad for you.
1. Cigs
2. Soda
3. Diet Soda

Hope this helps.

probably has more to do with lack of water in their diet, along with other less than healthy dietary choices.

lol

that's not what i was trying to do.....i just figure if someone is sucking down sodas, they aren't stocking lots of nutritional stuff in the pantry. that the choice of beverage is just an indication of their overall lack of dietary care.

and knowing what doug eats, and that he admits drinking 6 diet dews a day, i think i'm on safe ground! if i ate like doug does, i'd be bigger than my mother in law.

Drink coffee or green tea for an energy boost. Sparkling water if you need something bubbly.
