Dangers of Diet Soda

Dr. Bhavish Aubeelauck, internal medicine, shares the scary truth about diet soda. Just because it’s diet, doesn’t make it healthy.

Hmm, yet I've lost 30 lbs after switching to sugar free items because it gives me a caloric deficit. I must be special.

I drink on average 10 Diet Coke's a week. Honestly, though, EVERYTHING is bad for you if you overdo it. All things in moderation, people.

I lost 35 pounds partly because I switched to drinking diet soda.

The body burns on average 2000 - 2500 kcal per day period. So if you put on weight then it is simply because of your eating habits and not because of diet soda.

I’ve always been a skinny girl and used to take advantage of that. I used to drink like 2 packs of soda A DAY. Coke, root beer etc. any soda it didn’t matter as long as it was soda and sugary. It was like hell when my mom tried to get me to drink a bottle of water. That’s how addicted I was to the sugary drinks. But I’ve since then quit a few months ago and I rarely drink soda now! :D

I have type 1 diabetes- got it from genetics when i was 4( nothing to do with my diet ). Will my body still go into fat storage mode when my pancreas doesn’t even produce insulin?

I don't see the scientific studies with actual users vs. non users in any articles about how bad diet soda is. Anyone think the sugar companies are sponsoring some of these talks?

If your trying to loose weight Diet Coke or stuff like sugar free gum is great. As long as your getting active and burning calories. Stuff like Diet Coke is good to satisfy your cravings. It was one of my tricks when I was loosing weight.

I always thought diet soda is dumb. Sugar is a part of soda. So...how can there be a "diet" soda? To my logic, it always seemed stupid. I am glad more people are being informed about the effects of drinking too much diet soda, other drinks and food that is harmful to the body IF consumed a lot.

I drink that stuff all the time im gonna stop

[tranduy]

Thanks. Clean and clear summary of other long videos about this topic.

I started keeping track of my Diet Coke consumption. I’m at 20 in 6 days. Can I get an F in the chat.

I was gonna search how to gain weight and I saw this

I'm in the UK.
I don't drink a lot of fizzy drinks but used to have sugar free cordial now and again.
After reading and seeing all the numerous 'dangers' of sugar free cordial and fizzy drinks I decided to have full sugar coke now and then and full sugar OASIS sometimes.
Guess what? I've dropped 2 pounds in weight and BMI lowered too.
As long as it's not in excess...I would say have normal sugared drinks... but only sporadically!

Zac perna said diet sodas are good for diets and I always listen to people that actually look and sustain healthy lifestyles

[ccdogpark]

We very seldom drink a whole can of soda with a meal,
so we both
stopped drinking soda from 12 oz (355 ML) cans and now drink
16.9 oz (500 ml) bottles of soda so we can put the twist caps back on,
and put half back in the fridge so we can finish the soda the next day.
Reusing the twist caps keeps a bottle of soda from going "flat".
I tend to drink more instant coffee (with milk & no sugar)
and fruit juice to further reduce my consumption of sugar.
