k so every day i have like 6 cans of diet pop to keep me going, i absolutely can't tolerate water anymore as strange as it sounds, and there hasn't been side effects of the pop except headacfhe withdrawels. i haven't gained weight from it since they're are no cals, and just like some ppl have coffee i have my diet pop! is this terribly wrong,or semi okay, if its helping me not munch and eat ??
Reply from Kari, Age 16 - 06/28/05 - IP#: 24.35.49.xxx i have been drinking diet coke since i was really young. i never had any problems with aspartame, but that could be because i drink water with it. You can only get helath related problems from aspartame if you drink A LOT(12 pack) a day everyday for years and years. there isn't that much aspartame in the soda, it is just paranoid people trying to find something wrong with everything. Splenda also have aspartame in it. anything with artifical sugar does. but back to my orginal point, you should probably cut your soda intake in half and replace that half with water, and keep working it down until you have maybe a soda every other day. Also to find the healthy amount of water for you to drink is to multiply your body weight by .66 and that is the number of oz you should drink. Good Luck with your goals!

Reply from Lisa, Age 15 - 06/27/05 - IP#: 71.36.194.xxx I drink about 2 a day and last week we had no pop basically so i had an upset stomach, and headache. That makes me want to drink water so i'm going to slowly go off pop today i'm having 2 because yesterday i had 3..opps! so 2 today and then 1 1/2 on wednesday and so on till it's a rare occurance plus it will hopefully save money too for good things like cookies! no more like clothes when i lose some weight if i ever do!
Reply from steph, Age 15 - 06/26/05 - IP#: 24.70.95.xxx well normal diet coke has aspertane which can cause heart problems. you shoudl switch to diet coke with splenda. but i think that you really should try drinking water because it really isn't healthy to go without it
Reply from Camille, Age 17 - 06/26/05 - IP#: 70.81.187.xxx Even if you drink the diet coke with splenda, any soda will have sodium in it. So even if you are drinking a liquid, the sodium that is inside it will dehydrate you and that might be the cause of your headaches.

Reply from Nikki, Age 13 - 06/26/05 - IP#: 82.22.200.xxx TERRIBLE. Ok it has no cals and sugar is replaced with sweetners. No prob yeh? eh NO big problem!look at the back of your diet soda can and if you see aspartime listed in the sweetners your in trouble. Aspartime has been proved to cause headaches ,skin problems, poor vision,depression, carbs cravings, panic attacks, irregular heart beatings, seizures and brain tumours. Not so good. If you want to be healthy STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING 'DIET' (beacause it nearly always had aspartime in it) AND ANYTHING WITH ASPARTIME
