Don't intake too much preformed vitamin A.

I tried that grapefruit based soda from the Coca Cola company, not bad. Not bad at all.

But they seriously need to bring back Diet Vanilla Coke. I don't like Diet Vanilla Pepsi, too much Vanilla flavor I think it was; Coke had it right. I think I still have one can of Diet Vanilla Coke downstairs...

I think it has less edge than normal Diet Coke. The vitamins make me feel like I am being healthy by drinking soda all day. Also, you can get it free with the purchase of another Coke product as part of the promotion, MAJOR PLUS. (Pardon the pun.)

The zero calorie, zero carb, caffeine-free sparkling citrus grapefruit flavored soda is getting a makeover in an effort to win over increasingly health-conscious, calorie-conscious consumers.

Also diet coke plus pictures on the net were pretty unpossible to find. =[

I saw it when I visted Wal-Mart the other day and at first just saw "Coke Plus" and I went, "I'll have to try that." Then I saw the "Diet" part and said, "Fogetaboutit". I try to avoid fake sugar as much as possible as it leaves that nasty chemical burn taste in my mouth. I'll stick with my iced tea and Gatorade for now.

Aspartame is... the devil, and sucralose (splenda) will actually increase your appetite. I only drink sodas every 2 months so I don't think it matters what I grab, I just don't like drinking something akin to fizzy, watered-down pancake syrup.

Me, I think the best soda you can get is the kind sweetened with ONLY cane sugar. Or them 100% fruit juice sodas. Mnn, Izze.

it's so annoying when people are super sensitive about drinking soda. "do you have any idea what you're putting in your body?" I'll put something in your body, that'd be my foot in your ass.

haha, I kid, though.

In that some artificial have some negative health affects that may outweigh those of normal sugar. (one of them was proven to cause cancer before they changed the ingredients) Anyway, that's what I heard, didn't look into it myself, though... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

In Diet Coke they use Aspartame, which was shown to have no negative effect of cancer, etc in humans:

Nutrition notes:

Saccharin around since the 1800's. 1977 cancer scare, tried to get it taken off the market, not cancer in humans but mice/ Study flawed, equiv. of 850 cans of soda a day given to mice who are not a good model in test subjects. #1 artificial sweetener worldwide, heat stable (used in cooking)

It is less you to have to work off. For a 12oz serving of Diet Coke verse regular Coke, there is a difference of 140 calories less. 160 for Pepsi I believe. If you drink more than one can a day, that becomes nearly or just over 300 calories.

Also, if you do not eat more while drinking some weight.

Diet coke tastes funny to me. I don't like root beer either.

Uh? So those artificial sweetener studies were overdone? Were they paid by the Sugarcane Industry? What if Splenda hired other researchers to mess with the study? Huh? HUH?

Regardless of whether artificial sugars are better or worse for you, I'll stick to the real thing. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
I don't like how artificial sweeteners taste.

It's hazy at best which has more health risks between the diet and non-diet drinks. What is true though is that some diet drinks are even more acidic than the non-diet variants which is indeed worse for teeth as it is the acids, not the sugars, that cause the most problems with teeth. Some diet drinks are less acidic though, so it's not an exact thing and needs to be treated on a drink-by-drink basis. I do remember a number of studies though that showed Diet Coke specifically caused more damage to teeth in the same amount of time compared to Coca-Cola Classic. Barq's Rootbeer is one of the least acidic (although some of the highest sugars) so theoretically should be the best for teeth.

In the end though the best would be to avoid the caffeine rather than the sugars (artifical or natural). It can cause far more problems than sugar or aspartame especially if you have any sort of heart condition. I remember when I cut back from an average of two to three cans a day to one every other day or so that I had headaches and shakes for a while. That was not fun at all. My appetite also increased after that as well and I gained weight (which was a good thing for me).

As for diet drinks and me, I don't drink them. I can't stand their flavor or aftertaste and, like I said above, they taste like chemicals to me. Splenda isn't as bad, but it still leaves a bit of an aftertaste, though not nearly as bad as aspartame.

Soda needs to have real fucking sugar in it again. Srsly. Get some soda with real sugar, eight ounces is enough and it doesn't leave any kind of aftertaste. This high fructose corn syrup shit not only tastes inferior, it leaves a slight aftertaste and doesn't satisfy you at all. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif Real sugar stuff is better because it's not gross fake crap and you don't want as much. (Well, at least I don't. Gimme real sugar in a soda and a can is more than plenty.)

I'll take HFCS over diet shit any day, though. Besides leaving a god-awful aftertaste for me that lingers and lingers, aspartame makes me violently ill. My system can't process it worth a fuck.

Splenda isn't much better. It doesn't make me sick, but it still leaves that nasty fake aftertaste.

I agree on the real sugar. I picked up some Passover/kosher Coke, and it was awesome.
