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!
YOUR TURN!
Diet Soda Sucks
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byYes, you're right!

I used to love soda (especially a strong Coke or Pepsi); however, I have since given them up. If you think about it you are drinking acid, which is not good. Also, because I don't want anything diet, soda was a BIG waste of calories for me. This is one of the reasons I am slimmer now at 43 after two kids than I was at 18! This is why on my blog, www.heyweightyourskinnyjeansarecalling.com, I am a big water advocate. However, when I want a treat, I only want sugar (in moderation though).

Artificial sweeteners give me a headache, and I hate them! I mostly drink water now, or I just indulge in sugar-sweetened products.

I absolutely can't stand diet anything! What's the point of drinking soda without the sugar?

I can only drink a diet soda once in awhile. I love my regular soda and can tell the difference big time! some silly people will say try coke zero you can't even taste the difference. Horse Poop! yeah I can

Regular soda all the way.
I rarely drink soda but I don't like the taste of these diet drinks and I prefer to avoid these artificial sweetners as much as possible.

Yup, Im gonna have to agree with you on that one! I don't like all this sweetener mumbo jumbo...it's good for you, it's bad for you *sigh*. I think that if it isn't natural it's probably not a good idea!

Yeah, without even going into the whole thing about what's in them, they just taste terrible.

I won't touch diet drinks, artifical sweeteners may not contain sugar, just not sure what they DO contain. Besides, there is always beer! LOL Just kidding.... no I'm not! LOL

Every once in a while I mistakenly take a swig of my wifes diet soda and vomit a little in my mouth! it tastes like something artificial because it IS something artificial.

I agree. I think diet soda is poison. There are so many better beverage choices - water, fruit and vegetable juices, tea, wine, etc.

No way, Monkeybrain!

I'll skip the sugar.
I'm a diet Pepsi drinker.
My one vice I haven't given up.

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!

In a world that has become so health concerned how can you not drink diet soft drink. Diabetes is just around the corner people.

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.

Sugar is great - but not in my soda. I actually prefer the taste of diet over the regular versions.
