There is nothing bad for you in diet soda except

1. caramel coloring
2. sodium
3. aspratame probably (diet pepsi has sucralose now)
4. the carbination itself makes the soda only slightly less acidic than stomach acid. Its probably not good long term, but eh.

Nothing to make you fat.

The reason fat people often drink a lot of diet coke, is they are probably diabetic.

Being diabetic makes you thirsty

If you are diabetic you dont want to drink a bunch of sugar water, so you drink immitation sugar water

There you go.

Its not the diet soda that makes people fat, its the fat that makes people drink a shitload of anything, via diabetes.

How? You still end up with a set of chemicals where half of them is supposed to cancel out the other half and still fails at that task.

Bottled water or bust.
>>

I think it's just a nervous habit, I never feel 'right' unless I have some liquid going down my throat, I prefer pop because of the fizzy texture but I keep the water for when the taste starts to wear on me.

Have you considered ice tea?

Ive started drinking a liter of unsweetened tejava ice tea a day (its nothing but tea and water, nothing else added). I mix it with water, at 2:1 ratio, so i get 3 liters of drink. Its cheaper than soda, and its basically like tea flavored water. The taste grows on you pretty quick, its probably better than diet soda.

Im not a fan of the taste of straight water by itself, this enhances it just enough

After a movie has been out for a while normal people going to see it typically dont clap.
