I've heard of more people getting sick from drinking water than diet drinks

Everything in moderation....well, except like drain cleaner and 409.

The reality is that we shouldn't eat the fruits, vegetables, grains and meat that we do because of pesticides and hormones. But hey, I like my apples, corn, oats and cow so what's a guy to do?

You know I've been as small as a size 3 and and as a large as an 18, and now I'm back to an 8...and you know what never changed? I drink a diet soda every day. I have since I was a little kid. I don't see as though it has ever had any effect on my weight. I've lost 70lbs this year and the diet soda didn't seem to hurt anything.

I cant drink "diet" drinks. to me they all taste like 3 kinds of funk. Id rather just have an ice cold bottle of water

I never even tasted a regular soda until I was prolly 16...I thought it tasted like drinking pancake syrup. Yuck!

Can't be good for you to drink something that was made in a labaratory

so I presume that you would never dream of taking any vitamins, supplements or prescription medication...

And you never ever ever eat anything in a package with enhanced vitamins? Or HFCS? Or preservatives? Ever?

I prefer to use natural medicine...like HERBS..more safely..

Oy

Why do people think that because herbs are natural, they're safer. Belladona is an herb - it'll kill you. Nightshade is an herb - it'll kill you. Mushrooms are natural - they can kill you. Pennyroyal is an herb - it can kill you. Chaparral is an herb - it can kill you.

Just because something is NATURAL doesn't mean it's safe.

yess..its multiple of option..

thats why you must wisely option...human had brain right?

In my opinion moderation is key. Too much of anything is bad! I quit drinking diet sodas for about 2 months because I was drinking about 4 litres a day! Now, well I'm drinking them again but in moderation. I can go weeks without it. Now I drink water like mad! Next, new research will tell me to quit drinking so much water.

Christ, when did she say anything like that? She said "it can't be good," and she's right.

Does that mean that quinine 'can't be good' despite being created in a laboratory? Or distilled water? Or vitamins? Penicillin?

I make an effort to avoid artificial sweeteners, but I think it's much better to judge things on the effects they have on people rather than based simply on how they were created.

Laboratories can produce things that are 'good', nature can produce things that are 'bad' - the nice thing about your liver though, is that it can strain out some 'bad' from either source as long as it doesn't become overwhelmed with large quantities. So moderation and education are both good things
