Absolutely...the Aspartamate sugar substitute is worse than just straight up sugar, plain and simple.

If you're going to have soda, just have a regular soda..it's the lesser of the 2 evils ironically.

Well, you must compare. YOur regular soda has atleast 8-9 tablespoons of sugar in ONE can. Diet soda as fake sugar such as splenda, which contains aspartame and studies have shown that this ingredient is known to "fry" your brain cells. I myself, have cut out pop all together because their are zero health benefits, is empty calories and eats away at your teeth.
hopeee it helped:)

well, diet sodas use splenda or no calorie sugars which can give you diabetes and I heard it can possibly give you cancer(diet dr pepper). but it wont make you gain weight like regular soda. except some diet sodas actually make you very hungry.

Well, if it was true, then all people would say it, not just some people.

Diet soda uses artificial sweetners instead of sugar, so there's less carbohydrates. But artificial sweetners are all chemicals, and certain studies have linked them to cancer, so some people avoid them. I mean, it seems like almost everything in the world can be shown to cause cancer if you research it enough, but it's something to think about.

Personally I think they're both bad for you. No one has ever proved that switching to diet soda helps you lose weight. You can consume weird over-processed chemicals or way too much sugar... it just doesn't sound like a good choice on either side. I drink coffee.
