It will make you fat/screw up your metabolism permanently and ruin your kidneys in addition to rotting your teeth. But, yeah, whatever is the big deal?

BS.

Then how come you never meet anyone who turned fat and has bad kidneys on account of the Diet Coke? Where are all the people dying from the bad kidneys from the Diet Coke? Usually the fat people drink Diet Coke. Not thin people turning fat from drinking it.

I have consumed a lot of diet Coke over the years. Have none of these problems.

Do you normally prattle on about things you’re wrong about?

For me it’s Fresca. I drink up to 3 cans a day. It’s on my list of things to quit (along with equal in my coffee and I can’t believe it’s not butter on my popcorn), but Fresca actually helps me drink less alcohol and that’s a higher priority for me at the moment. It also helps curb my appetite.

Oh, and my kidneys are functioning just fine, I work out 6 days a week, am healthy weight and losing some vanity pounds. But yes, on my health journey one of my end goals is to eliminate as much “chemically” food as possible. So I do intend to eventually address it.

I think it's likely fine. People can prattle on about the metabolic effects, kidneys -- but they are likely also eating/drinking things they shouldn't like chips, cookies, steak...

You just stop buying it and stop drinking it. Break that bad habit.

If that is your only vice then enjoy! I only drink coke in winter, and only 1 can per week. Ahhh how i miss it the rest of the year....

Np. My kidneys are fine but I lost 5 pounds without trying after I stopped drinking Diet Coke. It made me crave sugar. Maybe the same thing happens to the OP.

Everyone drinking carbonated drinks has bellies. I would rather drink vinegar.
