I have no scientific knowledge to back this up, but something about Diet Coke has always made me suspicious...just seems like there is no way it won't some day be proven to be horrible for you. If there is one simple thing that people could do to improve the collective health of the human race it would be to replace soda intake with water.

Good Morning egoldstein, Nice to see you're up and at 'em.

I heard about that diet/fat thing. Doesn't surprise me. I also suspect it's somewhat addictive too. I'v never cared for that chemically sweet taste either. Give me a good old fashion 6 oz. Coca Cola in a glass bottle, that's all anyone needs.

Did you know that Coke will be coming out with a new diet product which uses Stevia? Much better for you and no aspartame taste or side effects.

I really don't drink a lot of soda, but when I do, I drink
regular Coke. The diet one tastes nasty to me.

Merrie, have you ever had Coke made in Mexico? It uses cane sugar instead of HFCS and it tastes amazing.
