Do you feel lied to? I for one do. I’ve been drinking Diet Coke for more than half my life. And it will probably be the shit that kills me. This episode has a few more expletives than I like in the show, so it will have the explicit tag, but no f-bombs. Anyway, all the articles discussed on this show pertain to the poison that is Diet Coke, and all other diet drinks that contain aspartame. Do yourself a favor, put down the can and head for the tap.

How much of this stuff does it take to actually cause problems? I drink no more than 6 or 7 a day and usually not that much. I usually drink at least one or two a day, though.
Hey Ness,
I was up to about 100 oz. a day at my worst. So you’re up to 84 oz. a day already, 588 oz. a week, 2352 oz. a month, 28K oz. a year. That’s at 7 cans a day.
The thing is if drinking the diet soda in lieu of water, then the caffeine robs your body of fluids, the aspartame, as I discussed in the show, does nothing good for your body. One or two a day may not sound bad, but over a lifetime that’s a hell of a lot of formaldehyde running around your blood. I’d just rather not.
Plus the fact that the diet soda doesn’t have the calories of sugar, doesn’t mean it helps you lose weight. In fact it’s the opposite according to the articles that I’ve read.
Thanks for the comment,

I guess I didn’t answer your question. I don’t know how much is too much. I know I definitely see a slowing if not complete stoppage of weight loss when I add Diet Coke back into my diet. That’s enough evidence right there.

Honestly, 1 can is too much, 2 cans is a definite road to trouble. I’m a certified health counselor; I wouldn’t touch anything with aspartame in it! There are a number of books and a few documentary films that expose aspartame, splenda, and the other chemical sweeteners. Sweet Misery and Sweet Remedy are both great DVD’s. If you look around online, you may even find them for free on google video or something.
what can we drink is there a list

It’s all well and fine for people to find fault with diet stuff.
But when your a diabetic, you will sing a different tune.
Diet coke forever !!
I won’t argue with diabetics having a hard time. But I will point out that you don’t need diet coke, nobody needs diet coke, and everyone would be better off not drinking any type of soda, regardless of sugar content.

Diet Coke sweetened with a blend of Splenda and acesulfame potassium (ace-k) for optimal taste, rather than aspartame.
