"Zero" drinks

[bigslick7878]

Seems to be a bunch of these on the market now, found Sprite Zero which tastes pretty damn close to a regular Sprite, and Powerade Zero which I could not tell the difference in over the regular version.

My question is are these basically like drinking water? Only thing that is in any of them is a little bit of sodium, about 25-100mg per serving depending on which drink.

No calories. No sugar. Can't get much better unless it is water IMO, and these are infinitely better than drinking plain water all day.

Any negatives?

Yes there are a whole load of other chemicals in there to make it taste like it does, I won't drink more than one a month, do a search on google for it, I read some interesting articles about it.

Google what? I just googled "zero drinks" and did not see any articles.

Don't know if I am buying the whole "there are chemicals in them so they are bad" argument but I am willing to listen.

Look up coke zero, use wiki, the worst offender is aspartame, you put what you want in your body, I'll just stick to natural stuff. The way god intended.
