is diet soda unhealthy ? Posted: 01-11-08 06:47am


I am trying to loose weight and it goes pretty good. In a year I lost about 60 lbs and I still have about 40 to go to reach my goal. My question is... I like drinking diet soda's like diet pepsi but my boyfriends mom keeps telling us how bad these are for your health and how they fool your body so you still won't loose weight. Is this true? Is it really harmfull if you drink 4 cans a day? I use Splenda sweetner on everything too and am now worried that those are not healthy either. Please advice Thanks

I have lost weight, finally at my goal! I do the same thing you are saying; I use splenda on everything and drink diet soda's as well. I don't believe that it is unheathy. Splenda is the healthiest substitute there is. As for the diet soda, the only thing that I have noticed is that when I drink it I tend to be really hungry after drinking it. It is due to the surgar substitute that is in it, but I am aware and watch my hunger accordingly.

Splenda and other sugar substitutes are not healthy. Not a bit, not at all. They are chemicals. The best sugar replacement is stevia. Neither are diet sodas. Look at the ingredients. Research what they do to your body. http://www.womentowomen.com/nutritionandwe ightloss/splenda.aspx If you want a fizzy drink, try using 100% juice plus carbonated water. It's pretty good.

A natural sweetener called stevia is tons more healthy than Splenda. They've linked Splenda to cancer!
