I stopped buying diet pop. I thought it was healthier than regular pop. Then I read an article that says its actually worst.I didn't realize that😩

I still drink soda, including diet. I'm still under the principle of drinking in moderation. I'm drinking a lot of other healthier drinks including water the majority of the time, so I figure a soda here and there should still be fine.

Most everything is bad for you so  i like that it is less calories

Yeah...really pop of any kind is not good for you...but like they say anything in moderation...I will have a pop (coke) w/pizza on occasion and I find that if my tummy is upset a nice cold coke helps

You might still think that diet soda is good for you take a look at the sugar content there is still sugar  i guess if yuu drink in moderation it is good

[beatsdrop]

I don't understand how people can drink that swill. Yuck.

sometimes it's not that these things are worst, the issue is that we tend to consume more, in the end it become equivalent to the very thing we're trying to avoid.

I use to drink diet soda all the time then I decided to stop drinking it and I started feeling better and healthier. Now I just drink water, milk, or gatorade.

Have never really been a soda/pop drinker.  If I ever do it's a diet pop and that is only about twice a year.

You have to be extremely careful about any studies that you read on the health of foods. Often there seems to be an ulterior motive behind the study and / or reporting of the study. For example, there is a huge movement that tries to tarnish anything that is not all natural, making artificial sweeteners a target for misleading research and reports. Hence you will see many blogs and some news sites that report studies that show weight gain when consuming diet beverages. Unfortunately, even the researchers performing the studies say that they have no causal relationship to this observed statistic. For example, in one of the latest studies which was reported on by several news outlets showed that individuals consuming diet beverages showed more weight gain than those that consumed regular drinks after monitoring the individuals for a number of years. But what doesn't get reported is that the individual's diets were not balanced or even factored into the results. Thus a person that is overweight by eating a lot of unhealthy foods may try to loose that weight just on what drinks they consume, but not by changing their overall eating habits. Since most of their caloric intake is through their unhealthy / fatty foods they consume, switching to diet pop while maintaining their unhealthy diet otherwise would probably show a weight gain that has nothing to do with their diet beverage consumption. And unfortunately a lot of our population has this "supre-size Big Mac meal with a diet coke" mentality, thus many of these observational studies don't provide much hard, scientific evidence of how / if artificial sweeteners lead to actual weight gain.

I still drink some on occasion, but not like I used to. I went from drinking 4 to 5 per day to 1 or 2 every week or two. I have switched to water mostly

I think saying it is worse just depends on what is being compared... They are both bad for you (e.g., kidneys).

Soda is really horrible period.
