My doctor told me to stop drinking diet sodas, that she’s seeing more and more patients with kidney-related problems, even kidney failure due to drinking diet sodas. Sodas also cause a lot of inflammation in your body and aren’t good for your organs. I now drink water, green tea or Lipton tea with stevia. I can tell a huge difference in my overall health since getting off of diet sodas. I also play the guitar and when drinking a lot of sodas had noticed my hands were swollen & hurting a lot. I wrote it off as too much guitar playing but after stopping the soda drinking drinking more water – my hands feel normal again. Good read “Our Bodies Many Cries For Water”. I didn’t realize how dehydrated I was until I started drinking water. When drinking diet sodas – I woke up a lot at night with my stomach growling & couldn’t go back to sleep until I got up and ate a piece of cheese or something. After switching to water – my stomach instantly stopped growling, no more middle of the night trips to the refrigerator, which is a plus on my figure. Our bodies crave water. The best water is not bottled water but water straight from tap, it has lots of minerals in it & no plastic, it’s also free, which is another plus on my wallet. I’m now in my 50’s & have 2 grandsons, 1 who is a high-functioning autistic, this mimi needs to take care of her health so I can be around for my grandchildren. Grandchildren have a way of making us want to take better care of ourselves.

Whilst I agree that any soda can never truly be good for you, this still feels like an attack article containing only negative points about the articles subject. I’d love to see the author do a study on air, i am sure you could show a positive correlation proving people who breathe it… die .

Hello Niraj! Beautiful infographic, and great information on your entire site. I wondered how I could go about getting permission to reprint this infographic in my upcoming ebook? I’d love to link to your site and include the graphic as a demonstration of the destructive effects of soda.

Many thanks,
Sylvia

I’ve read this multiple times and I am confused by the overall approach and flow.

1) The author starts by trying to present scientific based arguments against diet coke. The points are well focused, but the conclusions aren’t well supported by the science. At least links to citations were included so readers could fact check the science. Most articles of this nature don’t include links/citations.

2) I applaud taking the time to explain the difference between correlation and causation, but I would and the term anecdotal evidence to the list. They are simple to understand non-scientific concepts that are key to evaluating evidence, yet many people don’t know the difference or use them interchangeably. Maybe these terms should have been defined and used while the evidence was being evaluated.

3) After only presenting evidence against diet coke, the article concludes by basically saying examine all the evidence, and by the way, it’s really okay to drink it, but try to do it in moderation. Based on the tone of the article, I didn’t see this coming.

4) What really confused me was the Useful Resources section. Yes, weight loss, hypnosis, and meditation sites can be useful, but I do not see how this tied in with the overall theme of the article.
