Diet Soda Worse For You Than Regular Soda

As strange as this may seem in my opinion it is absolutely true. Diet soda contains aspartame, which is the sweetener they use to replace the sugar. I decided to do some digging on the Internet and found out some pretty shocking news. When aspartame was first introduced it was great because it was able to add sweetness without the calories that help to put on weight.

Companies took full advantage of this remarkable product, creating all kinds of "diet" products. As with all products of this nature, tests and research are done to determine both the short term and long term effects that may be caused by these types of products. Well sure enough a little ways down the road these scientists and companies researching the effects of aspartame uncover a horrifying discovery that there are about 90 different side effects associated with aspartame. These can be seen at http://www.sweetpoison.com/aspartame-side-effects.html.

I'm sure that drinking diet soda would help with cutting calories, but when you read these types of reports is it really worth running the risk of having to suffer through these side effects. I would hope the answer would be obvious.
