Rhino Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Re: Diet Pop Causes Brain Damage???? Hummm....my son drinks diet coke. That could answer some questions about my son's performance (or lack of it) in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Re: Diet Pop Causes Brain Damage???? Yeah it wouldn't surprise me. A lot of people drink it to stay away from the sugar in regular pop. I think regular pop would be 10 times better for you than the diet stuff with all that crap they put in it. Besides, it tastes like crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Re: Diet Pop Causes Brain Damage???? What's next, candybars cause cancer. No, I haven't heard of it, but it seems like everyday they come up with something that causes this or prevents that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Re: Diet Pop Causes Brain Damage???? IMHO it takes a small amount of brain damage to not notice how bad diet pop tastes to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckslayer Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Re: Diet Pop Causes Brain Damage???? I don't drink the Diet stuff, but everyone is gonna die of cancer anyways... If it causes cancer in lab animals chances are at least a few humans will blame their cancer on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Re: Diet Pop Causes Brain Damage???? There are about a million claims about diet Pop. Artery damage, brain damage, and ultimately death.... If there were that much evidence to prove it, the news would be FLOODED with reports. I simply doubt it. Is it good to chug diet pop all the time? Not at all..... But regular pop is NOT a good trade off. Just kick back, drink water, and watch the rest of the world get stupid.....

RangerClay Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Re: Diet Pop Causes Brain Damage???? There is a lot of truth in this. My wife was told not to drink diet sodas when she was pregnant because of the aspartame. Pediatricians recommend that you do not give aspartame drinks to any kids because it messes up their neural synapses (sp). Personally I am allergic to aspartame. If I eat or drink it I will get terrible headaches. That is why I choose Slenda or sucralose for artificial sweetners. This is not a spoof. It is very real!!

deer huntin k-man Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Re: Diet Pop Causes Brain Damage???? I guess it's a good thing I drink soda and not pop. JK But seriously this is kind of interesting. I am a diabetic so all I drink for soda on the rare occasions I do drink it is diet. The high sugar and carbs in the regular soda are not good at all for me and now I cant drink diet soda either. I guess I will just have to be a diabetic with cancer.
