Diet soda so I don’t snack?

[Anonymous]

Diet soda is terrible for you. Carmel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid- very bad for your bones and teeth, contributes to osteoporosis

Drink sparking water

This. It works for me. I don’t overdo it. Like people crap in Diet Coke but then will drink alcohol. I choose the firmer personally.

Agree. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. We all have our vices. If the rest of the day is healthy and you feel like it is what you need, then go for it. You don't have to be 100% all the time, most of us aren't.

Agreed.

I do this at work. I work with people and can’t have food in my teeth or icky breath. I drink a mini can of Diet Pepsi. The 7.5 oz size. Is it health food? No. But the little bit of caffeine helps tide me over until I can eat and it helped me lose 30 pounds (along with other changes). Some days I don’t even drink the entire 7.5 oz can.

Aspertame is a known carcinogen.

From NIH: we encourage all national and international public health agencies to urgently reexamine their assessments of aspartame’s health risks

What about Zevia made with plant based sweetener like Stevia?

Diet soda is so unhealthy. You'd be healthier drinking regular soda. Suck on an ice cube. Or eat more, like a normal person.

Zevia is non GMO naturally flavored no dyes and no chemicals

Long time Diet Coke addict here. It’s very hard on your kidneys. I had to stop.

How many diet sodas daily does “between meals” equal to you?

Also it says the study was done on rats.

OP, have you tried unsweetened iced tea or hot tea in the afternoon? I find it really helps keep me from snacking. Caffeine keeps me up at night, so I usually opt for herbal tea, but sometimes I'l do green tea if I want a little caffeine. So much healthier than a daily diet soda! I also do enjoy a diet coke but I consider it an occasional treat.

Of course, how silly! Far better to get cancer

Sparkling water with a splash of OJ works for me.

Natural news is a particularly scientifically unreliable site. Known to promote all sorts of conspiracy theories, and I believe they are anti-vaccine.

Is aspartame good for you? No. But there's no reason to think it's harmful is the quantities at which you're likely to be consuming it.
