diet coke and mentos experiment

Thus I gave up my experiment about 4 days ago and have been drinking my Diet Coke again. Funny thing, I actually feel a bit better since I started back. Then again this could also be because I have just started a new AD medication Remeron which I am sure is just now starting to kick in a little bit. Maybe that Aspertaime thing was just another urban legend.

Folks, my wife drinks diet Coke every day, and she's lost a lot of weight. Now I know that's just anecdotal, but diet coke doesn't cause weight gain. But the chemicals in it will harm you. Artificial sweeteners are more harmful than sugar to your health, but they do reduce weight gain. They do have fewer calories and do metabolize into sugar less once ingested. But I wouldn't consume it for health reasons.

Is diet coke safe during pregnancy? I've heard mix reviews.

I drink it.. it like my coffee. I gotta have it. Its not really good for you but trust me. There are things wayyyyy worse..

ve been drinking diet coke for as long as I remember, and believe, I just had my blood test, and everything is normal, including my sugar which is so low!!!!!!!!!. Diet coke is good for me, some people brag that it has more sugar than regular coke, for me it's not true. I'm living proof, that diet coke is good for me. I drink about 5 cans a day, and I really enjoy it! Tom M.

WYFROG, GLAD TO MEET YOU AND WELCOME TO OUR CYBER FAMILY. I HAVE READ MANY ARTICLES ON ASPERTANE AND ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS,I'M SURE THEY AREN'T THE GREATEST,BUT MS HAS BEEN AROUND LONG BEFORE ASPERTANE. HERE IN OHIO,ITS CALLED POP,AND YES, LIKE SANTANA,I ENJOY MY DIET COKE AND I DON'T CARE FOR THE DIET COKE WITH SPLENDA.HOWEVER I DO LIKE THE DIET COKE PLUS WITH THE VITAMINS IN IT.

its never caused me any problems and all healthy babies...try experiment around with some different natural juices and you might find one that sticks..

eat small portions every 3 hours , that way you will help keeping your insulin levels at a moderate level without highs and downs ( having those ups and downs and taking so much sugar messes up also with our mood ) . Switch the sugar intake from coke, chocolate with fruits, fruits juices, a little of dark chocolate when you feel the cravings....

Thanks for the responses regarding my question on the connection between diet sodas and MS. I guess it was too much to hope for. I assumed since an MD had said he knew for a fact that the study on this connection was true, I really believed him. And to think that I have put myself through hell these past eight days detoxing off my beloved diet coke! Even though it didn't cause my MS, I'm sure the aspartame isn't good to be taking anyway.

I heard that the regular coke is bad so I started drinking diet coke. However, my friends said that diet coke do more harm than coke in the long run. Are they correct? Will I gain weight from drinking diet coke?

Just wondering if I am drinking too much caffeine. I'm 14 weeks pregnant and I work full-time nights. I'm a general day I have aarge coffee, glass of ice tea and a diet coke. Is this too much?

I do throw up at least 2 times a day and the rest of the time find it a real struggle to look at and eat food. I am taking my vitamins but am having trouble keeping much else down. I know this is a really important time in the babies development and was wondering how bad it is that i can't seem to eat much and when i do it is not the best type of food.

I've been drinking diet coke and for some reason I'm suddenly becoming dizzy and shortness of breath. Is it bad to drink diet sodas????

Why not try some grape juice, herbal tea, or something you enjoy and gradually cut down to one diet coke a day? Purified water is also good for you and is easier on the system if you drink it at room temperature.

Diet or regular? I ask because I used to put sugar in my coffee and over time I found I was putting in more and more. I switched to artificial sweetner, and my use has stayed constant. If you're drinking regular coke, try switching to diet and see if that does the trick.

Try to limit your caffeine intake as too much has been associated with low birth weight and premature birth. And don't forget there is caffeine in chocolate, some soda, tea, coffee, frappes. Just be careful and try not to have it every day. And stay away from energy drinks.

Its not really the pop that is bad it is more about the caffeine in the pop..they say to limit the amount of caffeine that you take in...I would chose a diet and caffeine free pop if you drink any at all...I'm glad you found something to settle your stomach I can't drink anything with carbanation to it because it just turned my stomach and makes me sick every time...

Everything that I eat gives me indigestion, and I'm hungry all the time and don't know what to buy because I've never been a good diet person besides Diet Coke and I gave that up. I've tried looking on YouTube for good meals to cook but with school and work I dont have much time for cooking gourmet. If anyone has any good ideas for fast "cheaper" meals I would greatly appreciate it!

I have not thrown up at all but the past 2 days I feel like I'm goin to. I'm so nauseous thought. I've munched on saltine crackers and PB but I smell anything and I feel like I'm gonna throw up. Remedies? Advice? Please!

Oh, that again! When I was first dx, I was told by a few people it must be the diet pop. And more than one person knew someone who was 'misdiagnosed' with MS and when they stopped drinking diet pop, they were ok. There is so much RUBBISH out there about diet pop causing this and that. These sites quote obscure research, usually out of context, and act like they found the cure for all ills. Idiots.

If you want to have a soda every now and then - give the Diet Rite brand a taste. I like their cola and it's made with Splenda (Sucralose) - not Aspertame. Aspertame isn't really good for anyone - diabetic or otherwise. It gives me upset stomachs and I try to stay away from it as much as possible now (unfortunately it's in almost everything). Diet Rite, as opposed to other soft drink companies, is ahead of the curve using Splenda.

Diet soda has aspertame in it which is a chemical that can cause cancer, my favorite soda is diet coke, but i try to only have 1 or 2 a week, and drink other caffeinated drinks that aren't diet so I dont get migraines from my caffeine addiction lol, I'm addicted to energy drinks but avoid them often while pregnant.

Hello ... I am on a diet trying to loose some kilos and I'd like or know if it is ok to drink coke zero? I mean is it like water or its better not to consume it very often??

I am 33 weeks and as of 3 days ago I cant stop eating. All I want is cookies and cakes. Pretty much anything unhealthy. Is this normal?
