Diet Versus Regular Soda

Health issues with diet soda.

America is the most overweight people on the planet and I will tell you one of the many reasons why. Diet pop is the the first mistake to losing weight because it dosn't have any weight loss effect.

There have been studys where 30 women, half would drink diet pop and the other half would drink regular sugared pop. Most the women who switched from diet to regular ended up losing up to 5 pounds.

Because regular sugar in the regular pop does not have as fattening effect as the artificial sugars in diet pop. Artificial sugars such as aspartame and splenda, wich have adverse effects on your health. America consumes very large amounts of soda and diet soda and if you want the healthiest choice drink regular soda, because diet soda is designed to get you hooked on it!

Did you ever get a headache after stopping drinking diet soda for a little while? If you did, its cause you are having a kind of withdrawl, because the artificial sugar is actually purposley designed to get you hooked to it therefore making you buy more diet pop to, making the soda company gains more profits.

Diet soda makes you addicted, and it makes you fatter so you actually think you need to drink more diet pop! purchasing more and making the soda companies a great deal of money. (this is a great tactic for these compaies that they actually This is just one of the hundreds of reasons why you dont lose any weight after drinking diet then after drinking regular soda. Its all just a money making tactic for the food industry, and it is very deceptive. So dont give in to the foods that say diet to quickly, because usually it is a scam for the companys to make higher profits.

Where are you facts or research data? I drink neither diet or regular soft drings but not very convinced by this article that sounds more like a personal opinion than an educated report.

I'm going to have to agree with GS. I do research based chemistry and this sounds like conspiracy theory and opinion, not science or proof.

I dont believe this at all....Sugar has alot of negative health qualaties! If your that concerned about all of this, just drink water or milk for petes sake! Also, the bit about the headache from the sweetener is rubbish! For all you coffee drinkers out there, you are well aware of the headache that ensues is from the lack of caffeine.

The reason that diet sodas are 'diet' is because they have no energy content, or what we refer to as 'calories'. They have no energy content because the bonds in the artificial sweetener cannot be broken down by the enzymes in our bodies. They, by themselves, cannot make you gain. However, some people drink diet soda to reduce their caloric intake. This will help you lose weight only if these calories are eliminated. Some people who switch to diet sodas will then replace those calories rather than eliminate them. I.E. they will get a diet soda and a large package of fries rather than a medium package because they are having a diet soda. This will lead to weight gain because the increase in the size of the fries gives a large amount of calories, carbohydrates and fats that completely eliminate any gain from drinking diet soda. To some people, the switch to regular soda makes them more aware of their caloric intake and they cut in other places, leading to a decrease in their weight. In both cases, the weight gain or loss in not attributed solely to the kind of soda one drinks, but instead to the lifestyle that one leads.
