    I always find it amusing that people have been like “well it doesn’t cause weight loss!”

    It doesn’t.

    Is it water better than diet soda? Absolutely. But no one is replacing water with diet soda. They’re replacing coke with Diet Coke. Or whatever.

    Which means fewer calories which means potential weight loss (or for lower weight gain. CICO.) the problem is that most people who drink doet sodas tend to have a lot of other dietary habits that are equally awful as slamming back a 12 pack of Mountain Dew everyday…(eew.)

    As for aspartame causing cancer… I dunno. But I’m guessing it’s lower than the threat being obese makes. S

        not really. there are plenty of people that don’t drink water. at all… if they’re just not asking for kidney stones, then they’re replacing it with other things. sugar’d up soda being the most likely.

      artificial sweeteners causes your brain to crave sugar and you end up eating more sugar elsewhere.
