If the adverts are to be believed there are a number of benefits to a Diet Coke break. And now research has discovered one more. Diet fizzy drinks and other artificially-sweetened beverages do not cause diabetes as previously thought, a study has shown.

Oh no you don’t. Fake sugar is neurotoxic and can damage your brain. Maybe not today. But if in 10 or 20 years, you get Parkinson’s, Rheumatioid arthritis, Lou Gehrig’s, cancers, etc. you will know why.

Sugar (cane syrup) would be a better substance to drink than fake sugar, but best would be to get your fluids through a nonsweetened beverage. Like water. Still, if you have to drink soda, do not drink the poison that is “diet” soda.

Please read this. Dr. Blaylock is a genius on neurotoxicity:

None of the artificial sweeteners (Aspartame, Splenda & Sweet & Low) are good for you. They are all neuro-toxins. My wellness doc recommends a product called Just Like Sugar made from chicory and orange peels. You can buy it at whole foods or order on the internet from www.justlikesugar.com.

Pro-life, pro-America, pro-Constitution, pro-diet Coke!

Drinking one right now. . .

My neuros are doing fine, no toxicity. All my health indicators (triglycerides, blood sugar, blood pressure, etc.) are good to go. It’s ok! Drink a diet Coke!

I know two women whose livers have shut down due to frequent drinking of Diet Coke.

Have fun!

. . . a good sentiment, but I still deny that anyone has died or suffered harm from Diet Coke.

Aspartame is not good for you.

That's why I use Splenda (sucralose)

Never mind the carcinogenic neurotoxin in Diet Coke.

Splenda isn’t any better from what I’ve read. Basically all of the manufactured sweeteners create toxic chemicals in your body.

Aspartame has caused a lot of problems for a lot of people.

Back in the 1960s, Big Sugar spent big bucks and got the FDA to ban cyclamates in the U.S. claiming there was a link to cancer. But, as it turned out, this was not the case. It’s still banned in the US but not in Canada. Same thing happened with saccharin. Got banned, then declared safe.
I take sucralose over sugar anytime. Sugar, and its cousin, high fructose corn syrup is what’s bad.

Good flavor isn't one of those benefits. Every diet soda out there tastes vile - a bizarre metallic taste that approximates sweetness, but only enough to make you realize that it isn't sweet. I'll stick with seltzer water and the occasional Mexican Coke made with real sugar.
