is drinking diet soda bad for bodybuilding....will it affect your body, say 1-2 a day

[Dave321]

I drink it all the time... I don't think it is bad at all aside from aspertame, but there is still no concrete evidence on that as a harmful substance... do not sub for water though.

Not sure I Could survive without diet sodas.

everybody tells you that its not the best thing because of the citric acid and aspartame in it, but I drink 1 or 2 a day and it hasnt ever ****ed w/ me.

Diet soda is fine. I would drink it but it plays havoc with my stomach!

citric acid causes the pH of most bottled drinks to be around 3-2, which is pretty acidic and may cause some problems on your teeth overtime if you're sensitive to it.

A good alternative is green tea, which is not as acidic, or drinking some H2O right after soda to help restore the pH.

I too drink diet soda sometimes, but I think moderation is the key. They are really helpful when on a diet!
