How can diet soda be 0 calories? Wouldn't it have top be at least 10 or something? Does taht mean you can drink it and not get fat?

fruit juice (made with real fruit) is a lot better for you then diet soda, it has sugar in it, but its natural sugars, which are good for you unlike the chemicals in diet pop, and vitamins and minerals which diet pop lack entirely. Im not saying I dont enjoy a diet soda once in awhile, im just saying dont delude yourself about it.

yea.. i dont know why everyone is against diet soda. I mean..i dont sit around and only drink that..i drink water a lot but what she ment was when she feels like it its great to have a soda and not have to feel like you just drank liquid candy. It's a lot better for you then most drinks..better then fruit juice actually..fruit juice has a ton of sugar in it too. I mean..not saying juice is bad either but yea..diet soda isnt a bad thing

Most soda is very low sodium. That's why it's labeled in milligrams instead of grams. (Which also may make it look higher than it is.) Check the back, it says something like 1 or 2% daily value per serving.

It has nothing that your body can use, so it's 0 calories. I think that's great, knowing that after I get hot and sweaty I can drink a cold soda and not feel guilty.

Its because its all chemicals, most of which are not good for you at all like aspertame, its kind of like when you eat celery and it burns calories when you eat it, except a lot less healthy.
