Diet soda is way worse. It's nothing healthy, and there is a chemical in diet sodas that make you want it more and more. Don't drink it, it's basically just water and chemicals with no calories. You're better off drinking regular soda, or not soda at all. Soda is bad for you, but if you want to drink it, stick to the regular kinds and stay away from diet sodas. As for diet coke and coke zero, I don't know their differences since I don't drink them.

Depending on how much of the soda you drink, it can be wrong or right. All diet sodas (not wasit-watchers) have nutri-sweet in them which makes you hungry. So you can gain more drinking it because you get hungry then eat more. Immediately after I drink it, I feel hungrier even if I'm drinking it with lunch or something! It also is connected to giving you kidney stones which give you excruticiating pain and is able to give you brain tumors. Not fun.
Hope I helped

And stick to regular soda!

I've heard about this too. I guess that diet soda increases your appetite more than regular soda does. Also, people believe that since they're going to eat desserts, they decide to switch to diet soda. When you're drinking diet soda, some people crave sugar and sweets, so they eat it and it contains more sugar than in a can of soda. The amount of sugar in desserts can double the amount of sugar in a can of soda, and they don't really think of that. Sorry if that made absoultely no sense, haha.

Here are some other reasons:
1. Artificial sweeteners may affect your body’s ability to judge how many calories you consume because you are getting something sweet without any calories. When no calories are consumed, the body may continue to crave what it expected and could lead to overeating or bingeing.

2. Some people give up regular sodas to justify their favorite dessert and still take in too many calories. A regular soda contains about 9-12 teaspoons of sugar (yes, you read that correctly) and about 150 calories while your dessert may be double that in calories easily.

3. For others who were gaining weight already, switching to diet soda wasn’t enough to stop the gain. You’ve heard this one before…you’re being good and order a diet soda along with your fast food burger and French fries but the calories are still quite high.

(I got that from [Link](Mouse over link to see full location))




The difference between Diet Coke and Coke Zero is:
Coke Zero is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium (ace-k) and has zero calories. The only chemical difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke is that Coke Zero has about half the aspartame but has more ace-k.

Hope I helped and I wasn't TOO confusing, lol. <3
