Julie S	If you do not have evidence to back up your advise you should not post replies on the internet as you may create unessesary concern. Yes, water is better for you!!!!! there is no doubt about it. however diet coke does not have any sugar in it!!!! it is stated "sugar free" on the package!!! if the product did contain sugar then the coke company would've been sued a million times!!!!! Another FACT when aspartame enters the body it breaks down into methanol. Methanol is present in a lot of fruit, meatsm grains and dairy products. When you drink a glass of tomato juice you consume 6 times the amount of methanol as a can of diet coke!!! to have any health problems you would have to consistently be drinking over 30cans of diet coke a day!!! and thats not going to happen!!!!

Eirene Goddess of Peace	But it has caffeine and thousands of others ingredients that are not good for the health as well as the sugar substitute. Drink water, eight glasses a day, and then if you want a cup of coke it is fine, but do not get ten cans of Coke a day, I see fellow friends doing that and I just shake my head.

Redmondinator	Diet-Nazis would have you eating carrot sticks and guzzling water all day, but I believe that a glass (or two) of Diet Coke at dinner is fine. Beware however, that the sugar substitute used in Diet Coke are potentially worse than sugar. Although officials at the Coca-Cola company may claim that the chemical compounds used are perfectly healthy, many a scientific investigation has proved that many of the sugar replacements used in drinks can be carcinogenic.

Sporadic	The chemical they use to replace the sugar may cause cancer. It is worse for you than water. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

вeccα♥	Nothing is as healthy as water is. Diet pop has a sugar substitue that is cancer causing and very unhealthy. And dinner is the worst meal of the day to have soda of any kind. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ver_jen	Diet soda/pop is horrible for you. The fake sugars in it can cause cancer. Also, I used to drink Diet Coke all the time in mass quantities and had severe depression. Someone suggested I go for a week without drinking it and then drink it again on the seventh day and then examine how I felt for 24 hours after drinking it. I noticed that the depression is worse after having drank soda/pop. Water is much healthier because your body is made up of water. The body can use all the water you put in it. However, in order to get the water out of the soda/ pop, your body has to eliminate the junk that is in there. This will cause the kidneys and liver to work harder. Water can be used without the body filtering the bad stuff out. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lisa	no....your body is mostly made of water...but definately have that addiction to soda so I can't speak up!!! : > Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dawn h	Diet coke is not even close to being as good for you as water. It contains alot of additives and sugar. It has some additives that have been linked to illnesses later in life (but no real proof, just a link). It's OK to have a diet soda in the day though, everything in moderation. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rainy Day Lady	one diet soda with dinner or whenever is not going to hurt you--but water is better for you then any type of soda----no there are no claories in the diet soda but they still have caffeine which is not good for us and soad does not Hydrate your body like water does.There is NO proof that diet soda causes cancer either--diet soda contains aspartame which is what some claim causes cancer, but i researched this because i drink diet soda and they want you to believe even in moderate amts it can cause cancer when in actuality you would have to drinks tons of soda every single day for it to possibly be harmful. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tess	Diet Coke is fine in moderation if you have one or two a day. Your plan sounds fine. It's when you drink a pack a day or you replace drinking Diet Coke with healthier liquids (water, milk, fruit juice) that it becomes unhealthy. It's not good for your teeth, and it actually has calories (but it's minimal - about 4 per can). Also, too much caffeine is not good for the body. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

?!	no, look at the ingredients for diet coke, there's more in there that just no fat and calories. water is nature's best drink for everyone and its good for you too. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

carpediemmaster	The biggest difference is the sodium and caffeine Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
