What's wrong with Diet Coke?

[psychedout]

LOL at anyone who believes what Ish posted. It would appear no one does.

Hey.....end of story.....calories in = calories out OR you will gain weight.....very simple. NO WAY you can gain weight from drinking a zero calorie beverage.....I'll put my house on it that his diet was out of wack somewhere else..............

There are many zero-calorie substances or chemicals that have an effect on metabolism.

There are a shitload of reasons not to drink diet coke. If you need someone to convince you it will make you fatter before you stop drinking it, you're an idiot anyway.

diet soda like all sodas will rot your teeth though, at least strip them of enamel

So what's a good drink to have in a social situation when you want to avoid alcohol, but saying "a tall glass of water" is just not appropriate or too blah when everyone is having a real cocktail? Club soda with a twist of lime? I don't think there's anything other than fizz in that....

A real story here:
My mom, who did little to no exercise, had a 12 pack of coke a day habit, and was a little overweight(typical 60 y/o female in America). After the doc said her triglycerides and cholesterol were too high, he suggested she switch to diet coke(otherwise her diet was OK). Bam, 6 mos later, she's 20lbs lighter and blood work is within normal range. Diet coke did not make her fatter! She lost weight, just by changing that 1 thing in her diet. I'm not suggesting anyone drink 12 everyday, but if you have the choice, a 0 cal beverage would be better.

Dropping 1440 calories of sugar a day out of her diet by not drinking regular coke should make her lose weight.
