Diet soda. For some reason, all the HFCS, in regular sodas makes me a bit ill.



I enjoy the throwbacks once in a while, but they are too sweet to have often.

there's no difference between corn syrup and sugar to your body. your body breaks them down exactly the same. what you should beware of is that they are both toxic and unless you exercise after consumption equal to that of what you drink, 35% of all fructose is turned to fat like alcohol. thus you're far better off avoiding sugar all together. diet drinks are sweetened with questionable substances id avoid them too. club soda and lime, or just water is the way to go.

the difference is that they put HFCS in everything, in a lot of stuff that is unnecessary for it to be there even. Its not the same as sugar, no matter what the corn lobby tries to tell you.

I've drank diet soda sice HS. My mom used to get Shasta diet.

I bet I've drank less than 2 since my stroke. I was allowed to have it in the hospital but totally lost my taste for any soda, especially my diet Pepsi. It all tastes horrible now.

No loss

real sugar all the way. i don't mind a lot of the diet drinks but i won't drink any of the aspartame ones as that gives me a headache. like once i stopped drinking diet sodas, i stopped having so many migraines and when i do drink them now, i get a headache. so i'm pretty convinced that it was the aspartame.


edit: i will take a stevia sweetened drink over one sweetened with real sugar unless it's coffee. i dunno what happens with it and coffee but it makes me gag.



I have the same issue with stevia, or the one I use that's half stevia and half sugar.... it just doesn't taste right in coffee. I've gone to just using flavored creamer and not adding anymore sweetener.

They put sugar into a lot of things as well, it's not limited to HFCS. i was not implying that one is better then the other they both contain fructose which is bad for you, the end.

Diet usually. I'll go the regular or cane sugar route occasionally, but in general it's not worth the calories. Diabetes and obesity do more to kill you than whatever toxicity claim is floating around this week. If you treat soda as an occasional treat then have at it, but if you're going to drink the stuff by the gallon at least mitigate the damage with the diet versions.

Going to try the club soda with lime thing next time I go grocery shopping though. I think it's the carbonation I crave more than the flavor of soda...
