Topic: Diet Coke?

I'm off the wagon. I am a confessed diet Coke junkie...can't have ANY because it's like freakin' CRACK! I can't have just one! Subsequently, I've decided I can't have aspartame at all and have gone so far as to say I shouldn't eat ANY substitute sugars...the real thing or none. Anybody else with a similar story to tell? I'm just curious...if you search the web you see horror stories and assurances of the safety of artificial sweeteners alike.

I will actually get a really bad headache from aspartame. I don't like the taste of diet coke or diet Pepsi. Mostly I just drink water but when I have pop its not diet.

I don't like diet anything, I drink alot of water, and if I am in the mood for soda, it has to be the real thing Coca cola.

I can't drink any diet drinks with splenda in them. Aspartame I can tolerate, but I don't care for the taste so much. I try not to drink soda much though.

I used to drink diet coke often....I noticed that I started to get blotches on my face because of it....when I would stop drinking diet coke the blotches would go away....I guess my body doesn't react well to artificial things....besides pop is bad for tooth enamel erosion

Splenda should be off the market! All kinds of gastro-intestinal problems related to it... prolonged Diarrhea, ulcers are the tip of the iceberg. I'm hooked on Mrs Vickies Lime & pepper chips. Im not a big sweet tooth

I don't drink anything 'diet', I don't drink soda at all. If I use sugar at all, I use real sugar.

ALL diet soda is just a couple chemicals short of ANTIFREEZE. Try drinking THAT.
