A couple months ago I gave up sugary soda and started drinking diet soda.

I know that diet soda has no sugar and all that, but is it something that's ok to drink for a runner? Or should I just stay away from all carbonated drinks.

diet coke tastes better and doesn't seem to have all the other shit that sugary soda does. i do drink water whenever i work out, but during a meal, what's the point?

The thing about all diet sodas is they contain artificial sweeteners which tricks your brain into thinking it has a higher blood sugar than it actually have increasing insulin production to lower it.

The end result of this is you ending up more hungry

The main thing about aspartame is that the methanol it contains ends up being converted to formaldehyde and formic acid which are both toxic and cancerous. Oh yah... it also will make your muscles seize up.

Gah. Aspartame doesn't "contain" methanol. The two are two chemically distinct species. Lrn2biochemistry.

Nothing is wrong with it. I'm a health athlete who drinks 1/2 cans of diet coke or pepsi max a day. Have it as a treat and stay away from full sugar ones and you'll be fine weight wise. Actually, you can drink full sugar ones occasionally, it won't MAKE YOU DIE and GET SUPER FAT and HAVE CANCER.

Formic Acid is formed by you body, and removed into urine by the kidneys. It would only be dangerous if you had no kidneys.
