Diet soda is actually worse than regular soda as is some of the so-called juice drinks on the market. If you don’t understand that then you need to do some research on the most common sugar substitute aspartame, followed by stevia and others. Once you find out how these sugar substitutes are processed you will understand if given the choice between regular and diet, regular will always be better for you. You probably think it is okay to eat baked potatoes, corn, beans and rice.
Your answer to my question on Ocean Spray tells me you have no idea about the food and drink you eat. Especially since you think diet soda is better than regular soda. Keep drinking diet soda.
If you “judge’ people and are ignorant, you too will be judged.
It is more than OK. It is ideal. I have been strictly whole food- plant based for over 7 years . I eat tons of brown, black and red rice, tons of baked potatoes, mostly yams but also all other kids of potatoes , All vegetables, including corn, as long as it isn't in a processed food. Beans are a staple. All kinds. Black, red, navy, chickpea, etc. All kinds. They are my main source of protein.
It is literally the best thing I ever did for myself. You couldn't pay me to go back and not eat this way. . So no ignorance here, trust me. I know exactly what I am talking about. I already said that diet soda is not good for you, but the regular has high fructose corn syrup AND contributes to diabetes and weight gain. It should not be allowed to be purchased with taxpayer money. Neither kind. Diet or regular.
