    Diet coke/soda products effect on acne?

    Does diet soda effect acne in anyway or inhibit fat loss?

    Diet soda contains Aspartame. Aspartame has many medical problems associated with it. Storage of toxins in fat cells being one. Have you ever seen a skinny diet coke drinker? It also has been shown to give symptoms of MS and many others.

    There is a 10 part documentary on You Tube called Sweet Misery that you should watch.

    idk about acne, but I've never seen any evidence for aspartame affecting weight loss. This study even indicates that it might help weight loss. I can't link the article, but search google scholar for "aspartame weight loss", and check out the top links.

    the idea that it causes weight gain as some people have stated to me in the past IMO is BS. Diet coke has no calories... period. It CANNOT cause weight gain. It can cause bloating that may look like it, but actual weight gain is not possible if it has nothing in it to add to your daily intake.

    What it CAN do though is because it is sweet, it can make you crave more sweet stuff that isn't sugar free... and Fit2bold, not to be a jerk, but yes... i've seen PLENTY of diet coke drinkers in my life. Most fat people just happen to feel guilty, so they drink it thinking that it's actually doing something.

    OP, acne has a lot of causes with stress being a very big one, so make sure you relax more often if you are stressed.

    Aspartame is a nightmare in our food supply!!!!
    Check out the documentary Sweet Misery.
    Aspartame is banned in Europe.

    Soda of any kind is junk. Keep it out of your system whether cutting, bulking or whenever.

    Just don't drink soda of any kind and you won't have this delema.I have maybe a dozen cans of pop in a year to mix when I do happen to drink. When you give up pop completely and stop trying to substitute you look/feel better. All I drink is water and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    It's like trying to live a healthy life style but you won't give up fast food. Doesn't quite work. Gotta make a choice. Eat like shit or commit to fit.
