yeah its pretty bad. aspartme also causes mood swings etc. But, if you've gone a while and need a soda, i think its better to have diet just for a once in a while treat.

Julie said it. Diet pop is bad, because it does contain aspartame and sugar. When dieting you should only be drinking water/milk. Keep away from juices, energy drinks, flavored water(they have sodium). Aspartame is rumored to be a cause leading to cancer by the way. If you are craving pop, try diet rite. It has NO aspartame, no sugar, cals, carbs, sodium, caffiene, etc. etc.

they contain aspartme (sp?) which increases your appetite. Just stick with plain water. Its simple, healthy, and no hidden calories, fats, or anything
