i heard this on the news this morning . Someone drank diet coke all their life
and had a heart attack supposedly because of it..... anyway do you drink diet
stuff???
Yep...diet drinks are worse for you than drinking the regular drinks in terms of
cancer. Not neccesarily in terms of weight, but you good just drink less soda
for that...

Yeah id rather skip having cancer over a coke! ^.^'
it depends which sugar. Nutrisweet and such like that will increase your chance
of getting cancer, but aren't the ones the cause it. Now that stuff,
"splenda," that stuff is actually made from sugar, they just take out
something from the chemical bond, but it comes from natural sugar so it tastes
like sugar except it does not have the calories. I learned this in Nutrition
class spring semester =D Now it's summer time! woohoo!!
And yes, artificial sugar is not good for you. But remember, if you're going on
a diet, "splenda" is your friend....I hope....
yea i remember watching the news one time and it said the same thing...... my
mom never wanted to drink diet soda when i was younger becouse she always tell
me that im going to get verry sick if i drink it.....but as i tasted it a copple
of time....gross, it never made me sick...but hated the taste.....but i was
never sure that it would couse cancer....but ive heard it just gives you helth
problems later in life....but maybe one of them is cancer ....
flah, diet is gross. I heard that a certin fake sugar is made by taking regualr
glucose or some simple sugar and attaching, i think, one or two phosphate(s) to
it so that your body cant break it down and absorb the energy but that was a
year or so ago, who knows what my brain did to it.
living causes cancer. But
yeah, aspartame and all the artificial stuff is VERY bad for you. I believe the
higher rate of autism now is caused by aspartame (seemed to have gone up a
little after aspartame - Nutrasweet - was introduced into the world). Then
again, I'm not a scientist.
There is no conclusive scientific
evidence that I have read that suggests that artifical sweeteners cause an
increased risk of cancer. Every time I search PubMed, a repository of scientific papers from all
the major journal, there are numerous papers looking into the possible linkage
of the two. However, while increases have been suggested in some cases, there isn't a proven link. Additionally,
many more papers suggest there isn't a
link. Part of the problem is separating the effects of a single agent (such as
aspartame) because it generally is blended with 2045 other ingredients to make,
perhaps, a diet soda or a cookie. The other problem is that Urban Legends circulate very
easily, because they are built on anecdotal evidence that appeals to our
common sense - but there isn't any scientific evidence to back this up.
Another misconception about artificial sweeteners is how much you actually use,
compared to plain table sugar. Things like aspartame (Nutrasweet) or sucrulose
(Splenda) are at least 100 times sweeter than sugar, so most of the contents of
a packet of Nutrasweet is actually inert filler material like corn starch. So
you use a VERY small amount of actual artifical sweetener. That's why it's low
calorie - you eat so little of it that the amount of calories you actually gain
from it is minimal.
Also, aspartame is derived from the amino acid aspartic acid. It's one of the 20
essential amino acids that make up the proteins in your body. Sucrulose is
derived from the sugar molecule glucose, but substituting cholorine atoms for
oxygen atoms. There's no evidence that either is safer than the other, although
they may taste different.
Man, what a coincidence! That subject of fake sugar causing cancer came up in
my English class! Yep, my teacher told me that fake sugar does indeed cause
cancer. One girl even mentioned that she stopped buying those sugar-free gum
because that too causes cancer. But then again, everything seems to be causing
cancer...so I say...just eat healthy foods.
well that may not be true but you should all know now that dietcoke is bad for
you,
my teacher used to drink it all the time, health got bad, and then now she has
to
take steriods, at least that she told us, anyways, soda bad, drink water ^^
yea, water is your best bet if you want to be healthy. Eat your dark green
vegetables too...geez, this is turning into a nutrition class. I just had one
last semester, i don't want another X_X
i heard this on the news this morning . Someone drank diet coke all their life and had a heart attack supposedly because of it..... anyway do you drink diet stuff???
uhmm.. yes. sad to say, fake sugar (artificial) according to mass news does cause cancer.
i know isn't that terrible !?
'''''''''''~~
Uh oh fake sugar causes cancer. That's not good all my dad drinks is diet soda.
Yep...diet drinks are worse for you than drinking the regular drinks in terms of cancer. Not neccesarily in terms of weight, but you good just drink less soda for that...
Yeah id rather skip having cancer over a coke! ^.^'
if you let diet pops get warm and your drink them they can kill you.
and everything gives you cancer now adays.
even typing on your keyboard!
*dramatic music*

yeah darn, that splenda

Everything causes cancer these days. My advice: Don't eat/drink anything! You'll be healthy that way.
that is such a great way to avoid dying from cancer! ;o
haha i know aint it?!
sounds like a plan! "ill die of staravation and/or dehydration before you take my live, cancer!" xd
i drink diet coke or pepsi max, because I have come close to getting diabeties before, which is also a terrible thing to get.
i'm not expert in medical science or biology, but i believe your genes can also change the odds of getting cancer?
I don't know what really happened to that guy, but take my advice and avoid drinking fizzy drinks....
yea i remember watching the news one time and it said the same thing...... my mom never wanted to drink diet soda when i was younger becouse she always tell me that im going to get verry sick if i drink it.....but as i tasted it a copple of time....gross, it never made me sick...but hated the taste.....but i was never sure that it would couse cancer....but ive heard it just gives you helth problems later in life....but maybe one of them is cancer ....

Nah! diet is more harmful to the body even though normal food may put more weight in one.

hooray FOR REAL sugar!

Agreed. Cancer is a disease of aging. Just by growing older, you increase your chance of cancer. It's a part of life.
