HERE'S WHAT I THINK
Diet Soda Sucks
Back when I was in high school my friends would choke down Tab with their lunch in an effort to stay skinny enough to fit into their Jordache Jeans. I would sit back and suck down my sugary Coke and laugh! I still drink Coke with sugar and think that artificial sweeteners are POISON!

You're right it does suck. But if you have diabetes like me it's better than no soda.

Aside from the bad health side effects of aspartame, artificial sweeteners, including Stevia and Splenda taste bad and leave a strong aftertaste.

Diet soda is absolutely disgusting. The artificial sweeteners are not sweet at all, but have a bitter aftertaste. I'll take my chances with sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

Fact4U says:
Diet Soda has been proven to be much, much worse than actual soda. Reasons being:
1. Our body gets confused by artificial sweeteners
2. We're ?Infantilizing? our taste sense
3. Long term effects unclear (Not to mention the FACT that Aspartame will slaughter your braincells. I remember a old lady back Florida who DIED because of the long term effects of Diet Coke)
But all in all whether sweetened with sugar, or artificially, our body does not need anything but water. Never forget that.

Yep, the chemicals can't be good for ya. Neither is too much natural sugar, which is the lesser of two evils.

Basically I agree to the poster. But, a swimming pool heat pump is the best choice for heating a pool. It's inexpensive, high-efficient, safe. I would like to recommend a brand "wave", just google it.

The worst sodas are the diet ones that contain aspartame...it has a worse affect than regular sugar itself. Keep this in mind when you are trying to go on a
healthy weight loss.

Both diet soda and non-diet soda suck!
That's exactly how I think. Even if you drink diet soda, too much of it can still make you obese.

Tina says:

I grew up with a diabetic father so all we ever had in the house was diet. Now 40 years later it's all I'll touch. The other stuff tastes like syrup.

Soda alone doesn't do that much damage. It's like all those fatties who get 3 Big Macs and a diet coke trying to stay thin. Bad news, you are going to gain a ton of weight regardless of what you drink with those Big Macs.

Regular soda is just plain nasty tasting. I am a fan of Diet Coke and prefer it above any other soda. Having said that, I rarely drink soda because I value my bones. I only drink it when we eat out, which is only a couple of times a month. Our family leans toward milk and water with an occasional juice spritzer to keep things interesting.

Aim, Drinking diet soda to ward off diabetes is like smoking crack to stay thin. There are better ways to avoid diabetes then sucking down aspertame!

I can't drink regular soda. It tastes like I am drinking PURE syrup! Yuck! I don't drink a lot of soda anyway (I am an ice water type of gal!), but when I do, it is diet.

KEEP THE SODIUM AND ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS COMMING UNTIL YOU ASK THE BIG SODA CONGRLOMATES TO BRING REAL SUGAR BACK INTO MY DRINK. HIPPY KEEP DRINKING YOUR HIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP (HFCS).

Holly says:
While I take your point that the sweeteners aren't great for your body, sugary soda is terrible for your teeth. And the sugared versions are pretty rubbish for your body, too, in other ways, and they both suffer from the health problems of flavourings and colourings.
Given all that, I'll take the low-calorie, non-teeth-rotting option every time.

- I can't stand diet soda. Aspartame issue aside, the stuff tastes nasty. I prefer natural foods and drinks - like domodaa and mango juice, which you can find lots of in the village of Njau, Gambia. Hopefully you'll check out (and like) my first-ever Squidoo Lens, "Where is Njau, Gambia?"

- Diet soda sucks. It is not tasty and it is not healthy either. Regular soda is just unhealthy.
Just don't drink it regularly. Coke or Pepsi are great to sip when you have an indigestion. They are also helping a bit when you have a cold or a flu. Once a week is OK. But this comes from a 45 years old. I
