or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Realize This Assgrab is Delicious
I drink enough diet soda to make the OP look like a lightweight. When I die, you can donate my body to science and study it for the answer to this question.
You're correct, but most people in the thread aren't recommending that he needs to replace his diet soda intake with orange juice. Water is clearly the way to go.
That Diet Soda sneaks on in without the calories but then your bodies natural detectors think it's sugar so it invites it into the sugar area. Think of a celebrity impersonator, they still get into the VIP area behind the velvet rope. Then your body gets confused and tells your fat cells to turn the fake sugar into fake fat.
So a 160lb male would have to drink 375 12 ounce cans of Diet Coke, in a short period of time, to get the same dosage of aspartame that the rats received. That's 35 gallons.
It's not your bodies natural detectors, your pancreas will only secrete insulin in response to raised levels of actual sugar. Artificial sugar is nothing like it except that it fits the same slots normal sugar fills in your tongue's taste receptors and YOU think it taste's like sugar.
Otherwise how would your body know if you were consuming a shitton of sugar or just sucking on the same small peppermint constantly triggering sweet receptors in your mouth if it relied on the taste alone. It knows when you eat sugar because that sugar spikes your glucose when it's digested and insulin is secreted in response, not because there's a sweet taste on your tongue.
The ones that have Caffeine can make you dehydrated. It is a diuretic and increases urine production.The number 1 ingredient in Soda is water. The majority of soda is water.

Soda in general is horrible for your health, regardless of the aspartame in diet stuff. I'd cut down your intake or get rid of it entirely.

Regardless of the risks to your health, 6 liters a week is too fucking much. Why not drink water? Or sweet tea? Or anything besides carbonated soda.
have you had cream soda before? Finding a diet version of it was a holy grail for me and i finally found it. It tastes so good

I could find plenty of "yes's" so I guess there's never going to be a definitive answer.
Basically, if you look hard enough, almost everything can kill you.
Except Broccoli.
No, colas contain phosphorus (phosphoric acid) which drains calcium from the bones. It's the job of the kidneys to maintain appropriate levels sodium, calcium, phosphorus etc. in the blood stream.Doesn't carbonation also screw with your bones too, making them more brittle over time?
Seconded. I JUST decided to stop drinking diet coke, not because I think it is unsafe or because it is bad, but because it is not cheap to drink 2*1.75 a day or even just one and open some other (PLUS add 2-3 l natural water consumption daily on top of it). I realized that just going towards green tea or coffee will be much, much cheaper in the long run. Here is to hoping I can endure life without the Dark Gods of Aspartame!
It's hard to say. I mean, each person is different. If I drink a lot of mountain dew, I urinate a lot and the urine becomes concentrated after a while. Sort of yellowish. That's the first sign of dehydration.This is not true. Caffeine wont make a drink net negative on water intake. A large misunderstanding.
All I ever drink is water and milk.Drinking the same thing every day sounds really boring and gross.
A quick google search of aspartame and insulin sensitivity as you guys suggested has me a little shook. I'll try to lower it down to one 2 liter bottle a week but i don't think i could ween myself off it completely.

Every day.
