I’ve also switched to just water and juice. I think I have had a couple of diet drinks on airplanes, but that’s about it.

I agree with the previous poster that said that it would be better to make it a no soda break. I broke a huge Coca-Cola habit and switched to water. It was tough at first, but I’ve benefited from it in so many ways. I’m better hydrated, less insulin swings and healthier in every way.

Phosphate is one of the major culprits for kidney disease and cardiovascular disease and is still present in diet sodas.

I drink way too much diet coke, people often tell me I drink too much. But most people who drink coffee (usually with sugar) drink just as much in many cases. I know it is bad for me – I guess I just have a self-destructive personality.

What I find funny is the icoke.ca website describes the lifestyle benefits of drinking diet coke. For example, water is good for you and diet coke is full of water so diet coke is good for you too.

Read a 2L bottle in Canada: Coco-Cola Canada everydropmatters.ca – All drinks, including sparkling beverages, hydrate

Kind of funny they are taking that stance – It’s good for you. Right!

Please change the title to “Make it a NO coke break, for the sake of your health in general”.

Nothing about soda is good, it’s all bad for your health. The diet vs regular soda debate is just a spin to keep people buying POISON.

People, wake up, they’re turning you into sugar addicts so they can make profits. They don’t care if you get obese, if you get osteoporosis, if you get cancer or if you get kidney failure. They just want your money. Please, for the sake of all humanity, stop buying soda!

I’mna wag it around re correlation != causation. From the headline here, a dude could think this was an interventional study corroborating two others.

Are you willing to take bets on how long it’ll be before the anti-artificial-sweetener crowd comes in to call you a shill or something else equally stupid? Or before the self-righteous “stupid sheeple drinking sugar water” crowd comes in to wag their fingers?
