What makes diet pop bad?!


Question: What makes diet pop bad!?
People say it's actually bad for you!. There is 0 calories, 0 sugar, etc!. Can it actually make you gain weight!? What makes it bad for you then!? Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
they contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame that have been proved to cause tumours in the brainWww@Answer-Health@Com

One reason it is bad are the chemicals used as preservatives and artificial sweeteners!. (Aspartame being a very controversial chemical!.)

The second reason is that your body reads the artifical sweetener as though you are consuming sugar!. The body releases insulin to deal with the "sugar"!. When it doesn't find any I will look to store fat instead!. Drinking one on an empty stomach could cause you to have low blood sugar, as the insulin will absorb any available sugar into the cells!.

The person that eats a big mac with its 50+ grams of fat and then thinks "I'll save calories with the diet coke" ends up causing their body to store the fat!. That is how it can cause weight gain!. You trick the body into storing the ton of fat you just ate!.

Hope that helps clear up some of the confusion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Can diet soda's make you gain weight!? Well the answer is sort of!

Diet soda's contain little to no calories themselves, so there is no way thay can DIRECTLY cause you to gain weight!

There is a mechanism associated with them that can cause you gain weight though!. This mechanism is often MISSINTERPRETED AS: When you drink them you body expecting a sugar hit goes into fat storage mode and hence you gain weight!. This is incorrect, your body doent have the reasoning or chemical triggers (or the available energy input) to do this on it own!. Unfortunatly it's not that simple, as your subconcious mind does! What really happens is that some people, thinking how good/clever they've been avoiding the calories from the drink reward/overcompensate with other sweet treats and end up taking in more calories than they would have if they'd drunk a sugared soda!. As long as you are aware of this mechnism you can safely drink your diet sodas without fear!

-Edit-
There are also comments in here on Aspartame! When was the last time you heard - in real life, not urban myth - of someone developing a brain tumor that can be attributed to Aspartame!. You won't have there is not one single documented case of Aspartic acid causing a brain tumor in a human!. This is a theoretical risk, highlighted by some bad science carried out many years ago!. Yes its a risk, but its an incredibly small risk, you are more likly to have die of an allergic reaction from a bee sting than from anything relating to Aspartame!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

NutraSweet (aspartame), aka Equal or Candarel, slows down your system, making you gain weight!. It's been shown to cause tumors!. It tastes yucky!.

Studies have also recommended further investigation into possible connections between aspartame and negative effects such as headaches, brain lesions, and lymphoma!.

Caffeine, another frequent ingredient, can also cause migranes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

*It is not good for your bones or teeth!.
*Also, the big problem is that is many people (they are finding) who drink it, compensate with food since it has no calories or sugar!. So they think, "Well since I am not drinking the calories I will order another juicy hamburger!"
*Artificial sweeteners may not be good for your health and cause cancer
*Sodas make you More thirsty, so you will drink more of it!. However, many people confuse their thirst for hunger, so they eat more

**WATER IS THE BEST DRINK EVER** For your health and body!. Any other drink (soda, juice, alcohol) Should be a once a week "Treat"
Water is your best choice/miracle drinkWww@Answer-Health@Com

Aspartame (the artificial sweetener) is considered chemical poison!.
it is NOT suitable for human consumption!.

also the acid in diet pop (& regular) has the potential to contribute to enamel breakdown and when combined with sugar can contribute to rampant decay!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
