Is Diet Coke actually bad for you?

You hear it's bad for you all the time, but is it actually any worse for you than drinking a cup of coffee?
I mean the stuff is basically carbonated water, food coloring, aspartame, and caffeine. What's the problem?

Well, it’s definitely not good for you.

It is all just Pepsi propaganda.

How do we know all the negative stuff you hear about aspartame isn't propaganda from the sugar industry?

Yes. By replacing the sugar with an artificial sweetener, it is providing an environment in your digestive system that only allows the most robust and efficient bacteria to survive. Due to lack of easily to consume and degrade molecules.
Once you eat something that is easier to digest, your system will be extremely efficient and extract virtually all of the nutrients and calories out of it.
This will make it more difficult for you to lose weight and could potentially lead to other health issues.
Not to mention the danger of consuming artificial/non natural molecules and ingesting them.
Full disclosure, I’m typing this while drinking a Coke Zero

if man makes it, it probably gives you cancer.

It definitely isn't beneficial
I am sure a lot of stuff is perfectly fine in moderation
Diet drinks are not healthier compared to regular drinks. Sure there is less sugar but diet drinks are generally worse for you with some of the ingredients

Coke, diet or not, isn't really good for you at all. You can use coke to clean a car battery. If you get a lot of bugs on your windshield, put coke on a rag and wipe your window... It will come right off.. And we put that shite in our body.

If it's good enough for MY PRESIDENT, it's good enough for me. Not everyone processes foods or chemicals the same. Drink what you like. Life is short. I quit drinking alcohol 19 years ago but get more bullshite for drinking DC than I ever did drinking beer. People need to worry about themselves. The day my doctor looks at my blood work and says, "how much Diet Coke do you drink", I'll give it up then.

I'd argue its healthier than drinking water from a tap.

12 a day can't be good for "you"... asking for a friend?

It is just the acid in it. Coke uses phosphoric, your stomach uses hydrochloric. So coke has a couple more protons than your stomach.

Wrong. Being big is caused by having large genetics

I am not saying I care if people drink it.. Hell, I don't drink a lot of coke, but I like to drink it with dinner. Or sometimes I just feel like "i need a coke", I am just saying that it's not the best thing we can drink, but there are a lot of things do that isn't the "best thing for us".
