Best to avoid both as much as possible.

It will not. Diet soda reduces sugar intake, but is linked to weight gain and metabolic disorders when consumed regularly. In quantity, daily users may beome addicted. Diet soda lacks any essential nutrients whatsoever, can impact on gut health and potentially poses diabetes risk. Aspartame is a common artificial sweetener in diet soda, which breaks down into methanol and formaldehyde, substances linked to cancer risk. Use has likewise been associated with cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, even dementia.
Put the damn things down.
This is all bs. Formaldehyde is one of the most demonized chemicals. Know-nothings try to terrify us about the 10 milligrams of the chemical you get from a packet of aspartame. But did you know that your body produces, uses, and eliminates 50,000 mg of the stuff every day? That's because every living cell in our body requires formaldehyde.

Like what? What clinical studies have shown this ?

Ah, the ones where they feed mice their body weight in aspartame and they develop cancer. Yeah I know.

Never understood the hate for ordering a diet soda with fast food. It's literally less calories for your meal. There's 270 calories in a medium coke and 380 in a large. Cut calories where you can, especially if you're eating fast food

I drink lots of coke coke everyday. I drank diet coke for a few years till I related it to my ringing ears. At first it was horrible, but then I liked it. Now that I'm back to coke , diet coke tastes horrible. You acclimate to it. I doubt very many people that first taste coffee actually like it, but it grows on you. And it smells great.

I really don't give a shite what you or any of the other diet soda salesmen think.
I already told you, I don't drink either diet or non-diet.
You want to risk your life? I don't care. Go balls deep.

It’s so you can eat a 2000 calorie fast food meal and induce something to give peace of mind you’re eating healthy

It’s not hard to find evidence supporting that one is worse than the other. I am close to a dietician who only drinks diet, when they (sparingly) drink soda. They cite a study where cancer cells that were fed real sugar grew much faster than those given aspartame, etc. Ultimately, we live on a world where everything gives us cancer, so I’m going to drink my diet soda, try and get my antioxidants, and cross my fingers. Most diet tastes like crap. Diet DP is the only one I can’t stand.

Because it’s too goddamned sweet. And sweet tea can get a long walk off a short pier. A little bit of stevia, and clearly less cancer causing than living in the perennial Superfund sites that are LA, TC etc. there are 70? Chemical plants between BTR and MSY, yet the subject of inconsequential health bullshite comes up yet again.

The fatties in my office. There’s a point of no return. If you’re ordering that much McDonald’s or Zaxby’s or Wendy’s there’s zero reason to get a Diet Coke. None. The damage is done at that point. Just get a regular coke.

Yes. You are already all in at that point. Shaving off 300 cals isn’t going to do shite. Just indulge in the real thing at that point.

Exactly. Another reply with zero substance. One more time before you are totally non credible, what clinical study shows that aspartame is bad for you? I’ve actually read studies and you would literally have to drink like 20 diet sodas a day to even begin to have any changes in your health. There are actual studies showing that. How can you refute facts?

I admittedly have a solid Coke Zero addiction. 6-8 20oz bottles per day. Probably not really great for me. I can go a couple days with drinking an actual water. But I did cut 40 lbs a few years ago with no reduction in Coke Zero consumption. 10k steps a day plus much reduced carbs did the trick. Sugar is the driver of my weight.
I intend on continuing my Coke Zero/caffeine addiction until further notice
