besides giving me cancer and making me hungrier, what else does diet soda do, or beyond that is it safe?

If whatever brand of diet soda you consume contains aspartame, you might as well just shoot yourself in the face.

Makes your mouth taste like a chemical waste bin. And there's no logic in drinking soda, with no real advantages but many health cons, over drinking water.

LMAO.
Why do people bother drinking the "Diet" soda? It's not a weightloss drink you sad lazy donkey.

God I despise fatties that drink Diet soda, but I don't mind the ones that drink normal soda.
>> noko

I have a whole bin full of aspartame shit. My mom and dad handed me some and I told them about it very vocally.

As if to show off my little brother dumped a bunch of little packets into his bottled water. Fast forward to months later my family still uses it.

I was somewhere between lulz and tragedy in my mind.

I hate /fit/ mostly because of this. They read some half assed article regarding the effects of aspartame on mice, and OH SHIT CANCER! or one on people gaining weight from drinking diet coke and OH SHIT WEIGHT GAINER!

Here are the real facts. Humans will probably never see the effects of aspartame. I mean, to see any effects at all, you'd have to consume a twelve pack every day for maybe a decade. Even then, probably nothing. Seriously, my brother's diabetes doctors and nutritionists, and any doctor I have ever been to have told me the same thing: drinking up to three-four cans a day won't do anything.

Now, making you hungrier? Really just more bullshit. It's the type of bullshit I like to call, "Let's make a myth about a product that isn't the most natural thing out there." Whether it's Splenda (I've heard people claim there's fucking bleach in it) or diet coke, people will try to make it sound bad because, ultimately, there's nothing bad about it. BUT NO, THERE HAS TO BE! Anyway, I've been drinking diet drinks with my dinner and sometimes lunch everyday for about seven years now. I've never felt hungrier. Remember the made up myth bullshit? It applies to the fake sugar tricking your brain. It isn't as smart sounding or logical as the dumbfucks who made it up think it is. You know how you can gain weight with diet coke in your diet? By being a stupid fatass, getting a diet coke, and then assuming you can eat whatever the fuck else you want because you're drinking diet coke.

Same fag.

Why SHOULD you drink soda? What is the real benefit of drinking some fucking chemical cocktail that food scientists and nutritionists today are experimenting/researching at all?
>> Anonymous
>>117116
Basically, yes. Diet coke won't lead you to significant weight loss, unless normal coke has been a significant part of your diet, and you replace it completely with diet coke. However, drinking diet coke over normal coke is just a simple no brainer in any case, especially if you're going out to have a casual meal with someone or something.

There is no benefit. Is there a benefit in drinking water? No, it's just a liquid that hydrates you. Sure, it's empty of any ingredients other than the water itself, but is water the funnest thing to drink all the god damn time? No, and stop lying to your diluted self that it is.

Why are you even in /fit/? You must have never exercised before. You don't know how good cold water is when you have a water break between cardio or a soccer game or a football game on the grass. You're going to put fucking chemicals in your body because it's FUN TO TASTE?

Here is the best tl;dr of diet coke:

Won't cause cancer unless you drink like two gallons a day. Won't make you lose weight, it's just an alternative to something that has useless, empty calories. Water is usually better, but treating yourself is fucking normal.

Quit being a faggot. I don't play sports anymore, and I haven't since I was like 12 or 13. I've been going to a gym since then, four times a week. Maybe an hour of cardio isn't as intense as a longer soccer game, but just assuming I'm a lazy fatass because I enjoy diet coke is the most idiotic thing ever. Go fuck yourself.

Some people claim it helps flush out wastes. But w/e, it hydrates me well, and that's what I need. I don't like to drink sodas because it doesn't nothing for me, when I drank soda, I was still thirsty after a can of soda. So now I just drink water.

Holy shit. There is nothing stronger than a dumbfuck denying how dumb it is to drink soda/justifying drinking soda.

Alright dude, just go on and drink soda every day, 4-5 cans of it.
>> Anonymous

Whether or not you can justify drinking soda, because aspartame doesn't give you side effects.

Constantly eating or drinking alot of sweets messes around with your insulin system, and after awhile your insulin system breaks, and you get DIABEETUS.

Can we all agree that diet soda is less bad for you than regular soda?

That is: There are no benefits to it, but there are fewer mal-effects.

I usually only have time to drink a can a day, two at most. And I don't really need your advice. As some other guy said, the advice of some faggot on an imageboard isn't quite as impressive as one I've gotten through about five doctors and two nutritionists.

I'm no doctor, but at the same time I wouldn't say that diet coke or any soda is necessarily "safe"; I usually get that feeling from artificial or processed foods in general though.. IMHO if you want to drink it go ahead, its your body and your life to do with as you want :S

Drinking diet soda, water and fake sugar, instead of soda, HFCS and water, is certainly better. I've read the aspartame claims... But they were feeding tiny mice twice their weight in it. Yeah, I'm sure I'd die if I drank 288 lb of water as well.

There's a line between being healthy, and a fucking paranoid son of a bitch.
If you're so concerned about a little bit of artificial sweetener destroying our ENTIRE MOTHER FUCKING BODIES, then maybe you should just fucking live off of water and cabbage for the rest of your life.

Dehydration leads to excess body fat, poor muscle tone & size, decreased digestive efficiency & organ function, increased toxicity, joint & muscle soreness, & water retention.

so just fucking drink water ok.
