Soda cans have a thin lacquer lining on the inside to prevent the acids from chewing through the can.   |
I definitely don't drink that much
diet soda, maybe a can a day. But at the most it might be 2. I have really good teeth. The only cavities I ever had was when I was a little girl and probably didn't brush as well -- before I even knew what
diet soda was (and I only have 2 fillings.) Guess I'm just posting to be a bit of a "devil's advocate."
I do know that the acid in your stomach will take care of the soda. As far as the pic, the url seems to be from some place in Bulgaria? So I'm not sure how accurate it is.
There is a lot of information out on the net that just isn't true and you really have to sift through it. I know aspartame isn't a health food, but it's not been proven to cause any damage. Those studies are done with agendas and the "side effects" that aspartame supposedly causes, well that's a long list and I'm sure every one of has experienced part of that list without indulging in aspartame.
It sounds like the OP was drinking quite a bit of
diet soda, and anything in that huge quantity would have an effect on anyone's
body.
