Oh that's not true at all. First I think they taste better, they're sweet without being syrup-y. Second it allows me to drink a lot of soda, 5+ cans a day adds up when it has calories. I have no expectation that it helps
me lose weight, it's just tastier water.
It's funny that folks will look down on diet soda but then be fine with tea and coffee and sports drinks like the bubbles make it meaningfully different.
- riffraff 2y ago5+ cans of soda a day seems unhealthy even if it's not caloric, the gas and acid will mess up your stomach. It is not just tastier water.
- Spivak 2y agoGiven that in France "water" means carbonated water and you have to specifically ask for "still water" I can't imagine the gas being that bad for you. Acid I can get behind but soda is by far the least acidic thing I consume on the daily.
- Spooky23 2y agoThe carbonation creates carbonic acid in your teeth. It’s a huge driver of calories. Of the of the issues with diet soda in particular is your tastes favor sweets. I used to drink 4-8 cans of Diet Dr Pepper daily. When I stopped, after a couple of weeks I found my taste preferences to be very different. I’d favor savory more attractive and sweet stuff would seem too sweet.
