From what Facepunch and Google has informed me of, especially of Diet Coke is that these are often more unhealthy than the regular soda. Do the artificial sweeteners and the stuff that make the diet or light drinks make it unhealthy?
Soda is terrible for you, dont drink it unless you want to die.
Soda in general is bad for you but Diet Soda has shown no terrible side-effects. People have said that it causes cancer but that was an inconclusive and biased study.

Energy drinks are the real killers, though.
Well I don't drink soda anymore, it's a matter of those other drinks like the 'light' lemonades and minute maid drinks.
drink beer like a man
No. Not really.
There's been a lot of [B]speculation[/B] by certain people and groups (and their financial backers always shine a little light on their ulterior motives...) that certain types of artificial sweeteners are the devil's work, but no conclusive or solid evidence.
One bitch is so adamant that it causes addiction and will make you fatter by stimulating "sweet sensors" which will then trigger insulin and make you FAT!!! (she's wrong, doesn't understand what she is talking about etc). Besides, it's certainly a fucking world better than sugary soda, which IS addictive and DOES make people fat quite clearly.
Really if you want a practical example, just look at bodybuilders and figure competitors who basically live off the shit when they are dieting down.

I drank beer for a while, but then when I came back from my holiday I had some weird beer belly shit going down, so I stopped drinking it.

Think about things for a second, then stop doing 'em. That's how winners fly by.
Also, op, everything's unhealthy. Take advice from curry and stop consuming shit because you're bored.

here is a very informative video about artificial sweeteners
I use artificial sweeteners as a sugar substitute.
Not aspartame though, fuk dat shit.
Careful with aspartame and creatine if you don't drink a lot of water.
Some guy drank nothing but creatine and diet gatorade and it got carried into his muscles and rotted them which he died from.

Aw gay that shit's in my light lemonade.
Fuck, no Diet soda is FINE.
Aspertame hasn't been proved to casue cancer, if you drink about 355 to even 710 ml a day, of Diet soda, you will be fine. Nothing will happen.
Aspartame might not cause cancer, but the stuff can kill ants. KILL them, not just get them sick.

Yes, because we are so similar to an ant in the way we process food and drink.

Ants eat sweet things all the time, but when they eat aspartame they fall over and die haha
[QUOTE=Shirky;31816714]Ants eat sweet things all the time, but when they eat aspartame they fall over and die haha[/QUOTE]Ant =/= Human
Therefore aspartame will not harm us. In fact, did you know that ants have a natural-borne fatal allergy to Cucumbers?

All of the "Zero Calorie" drinks are terrible for you, how do you think they make them taste so good, magic? You should have guessed on that one.
actually if they used saccharin/sucralose or some other safe sweetener they'd be fine.
Once again, I'll say it again, Diet soda is FINE.

Uh.No?
[QUOTE=Kel|oggs;31831559]Once again, I'll say it again, Diet soda is FINE.[/QUOTE]Well, it's very unhealthy, but hell it won't give you CANCER.
