good on u! diet coke is bad for yr teeth, and it makes u fat! i should give up fizzy pop tho, and sweets. i am ruining my teeth

How does diet coke make you fat.. Thought it was diet....I know it causes cancer with all the aspartame in it... (well apparently...)

There was a study recently that suggested that the sweeteners in diet drinks messes with your metabolism. Basically it tastes sweet without giving you the calories and raising your blood sugar levels meaning that you crave more food straight away. There's also a kind of psychological element to it apparently, kind of like "I had a diet drink, I can go and have that dairy milk now...".

yes thats correc! also caffiene is a goitrogen which stops thyroid functioning properly.
