    I drink pop extremely rarely. I used to drink quite a lot, but when I was 22-23 I went to the dentist and it cost me over $1000 so I decided to quit drinking soda. I dunno if it was the soda that was to blame for my cavities, but I'm sure it wasn't helping.

    Not drinking soda has not affected my life negatively in the slightest. My favorite drink is water.

    all that sugar (or high fructose corn syrup) and artificial shit isn't good for you. one or two won't kill you.

    if you want to be super healthy, don't drink any. if you don't give a shit, have a few

    I drink cold diet coke when toking all the time and haven't had cavities in years. If you take good care it's ok for your teeth. What is bad is the sugar in regular soda's. It's not so bad if you drink one glass but if you drink a liter a day regularly it just is bad for you unless you process all that stuff.

    I drink tons of soda and never had a cavity. I love soda, nothing hits the spot for me on a warm day quite like a soda.

    i love soda, it gets me going in the morning and helps me relax at night. (although if i can i get a beer to help me relax at the end of the day)
    but i have really cut down drastically on how much i drink. i average less than a can a day now. a few years ago i averaged almost a 2 liter bottle a day. i think its just because i am getting to that age where i know health problems are right around the corner and i do love fruit juices just as much so its not as if im giving up something i like for something i dont like.

    No, diet soda is much worse, though any soda is bad. Aspartame and sucralose are excitotoxins and they also cause people to consume more calories. That's why so many diet soda drinkers are fat.

    BAD! Especially diet!!! (Lots of scientific proof on that one!)

    I drink water more than any other liquid - always have, always will.

    REAL Coca Cola made with REAL sugar on occasion is a nice treat.

    I NEVER drink any type of diet beverage or use artificial sweeteners and never will.

    Because the artificial sweeteners cause people to crave sweets. So there is a good chance that after someone consumes a diet soda, they will not long after reach for something sweet and fattening. The artificial sweeteners trick the mind into thinking that calories will follow, so they create a craving for something sweet.

    http://news.menshealth.com/the-truth-about-diet-soda/2011/07/07/

    If you're going to drink soda, you're better off drinking the regular, but in moderation.

    The worst thing about the artificial sweeteners is that they screw with people's metabolism, they are neurotoxic, and they can cause a host of other neurological problems -- short-term and long.

    It's a proven fact that, on average, people who drink diet soda have larger waistlines than people who drink regular soda.

    But I think all soda is just horrible for a person's health -- diet or regular.
