10 Unsettling Facts about Diet Soda
Monday, March 28, 2011 at 10:22AM I received an email a few weeks ago from Christine at radiologytechnicianschools.net inviting us to share this article about diet sodas with our readers. People ask me quite often what I think about diet soda as an alternative to regular soda consumption. My answer is usually something like, "You'd be better off eating the bottle the diet soda comes in rather than drinking the soda itself." If regular soda is a nutritional wasteland, then diet soda is a chemical catastrophe.
If you want to drink a non-water beverage during the day, you'd do well to stick to soy milk, iced tea with Splenda, and limited amounts of fruit juice.
Thanks, Christine, for sharing this article with us.
