Rep Power: 16 | | | It's true, that's why it's called diet coke and not bad tasting coke.

Rep Power: 20 | | | It's not "good" - it has no nutritional value. It's all still junk, and you should replace it with water, or at least juice. |

Rep Power: 110 | | | good compared to regular coke, bad compared to fresh water.
just look at the sodium count, and read some studies on the cancerous effects of large intakes of fake sweetners like nutrasweet and sacchrine. |

Rep Power: 16 | | | It's what I consider a neutral. It doesn't doing anything for you and it really doesn't do anything against you (unless you believe the hype about the sweeteners). Keep in mind though that a diet coke with lunch is good, but is no REPLACEMENT for water.

Rep Power: 110 | | | I consider any soda 'bad' because of what it does to your teeth and bones. All the phosphoric acid in soda eats away at your teeth. But what's worse is that is screws with phosphorus levels in the blood, so the body will pull calcium from bones and teeth to balance things out. Diet or regular, you still have to put up with this. |

Rep Power: 20 | | | I also believe it's better to wean yourself off of sweets. Replacing your common sweets with "healthier" versions isn't really going to improve your lifestyle much. Once in a while is cool (everything in moderation, of course) and in these cases, if you gotta have it, diet coke is a suitable replacement (I personally can't stand the taste). |

Rep Power: 9 | | | whenever I fancy something sweet I eat a banana, raisins or grapes instead, its way tastier and satisfying than chocolate or sweets.
Why not try an extra light ribena instead?, its 100% vitamin C + only 15cal per 500ml. |
