Are my three cans of diet coke a day doing me any harm?

[ellehcim]

No idea. More to the point are they doing DS2 any harm through breastfeeding?

I think the question "Are they doing me any good?" is easier to answer - "Probably not" imo

did you know they use coke to clean spillages off the road ?

Oh dear really?
Am I being very gullible?
Really have tried to stop but became addicted during pregnancy (I know I know that's even worse) and now can't stop. If I don't buy it when I do the shop I have to send DH out for emergency supplies in the evening.

erodes the enamel on your teeth, my dentist could tell what i drank!

Leave an old brown 1p or 2p in it over night - then in the morning think what it is doing o your insides

Search for aspartame on MN or the internet - i think you will go 'off' it

Do you also know that 1 can of any fizzy drink (apart from fizzy water) a day weakens your bone density therefore making you even more susceptible to osteoporosis.

I completely understand. I lllluuuuuurrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvveeeee my Diet Coke. It is yummy yummy yummy. And as far as the acidic properties (can clean a penny, can clean your jumper cables, etc.) I think stomache acid is more acidic.

It's true that is probably not good for you. But boy is it tasty.

ok just did a search for aspartame and will now be disposing of the 19 cans left from the 24 cans purchased yesterday.

Oh, give them to me!

don't tell anyone though eleusis - I might just finish the half a can next to me

Yuech at diet Coke. Now, real coke...

It was my vice in pregnancy too. I just thought look I can't give up EVERYTHING I love for 9 (which is really 10) months.

Nope, Diet Coke, just for the taste of it.

Hope not....

Bad days at work are '3 cans of diet coke' days....

I did go off it a bit during pg though. Back on it with a vengeance now.
And I deliberately avoid looking up aspartame, I don't want to know!

my 3 cans a day are during mat leave!! However with two little ones its often more stressful than being at work!

I gave it up for six months once. I get migraines and I wondered if it was the culprit. No change in the migraines so I decided there was no point in punishing myself for nothing. So I stated back up.

Speaking of which, I think I'll go get one from the fridge. yummy.

A customer where I worked used to drink 10+ cans a day until she was rushed to hospital with liver failure
