Diet Coke™

One of the most popular diet drinks or diet sodas, is Diet Coke. If you want to lose weight, the good news is that this diet beverage contains zero calories. The bad news - both for weight control and diet health, is that it contains no real diet nutrition. Furthermore, the health risks of the artificial sweeteners and caffeine in Diet Coke remain a subject of controversy for health critics.

Health Concern 1. Caffeine

Worry about caffeine in diet sodas revolves around it's addictive effects on the brain, as well as the kidneys. Caffeine has diuretic properties, and is a dehydrating agent - one reason, say health critics, why a person may drink so many cans of soda every day without ever being satisfied. Health critics also believe that high-caffeine diet-beverages, like Diet Coke can lead to a gradual gain in weight from overeating as a result of confusion of thirst and hunger sensations.

Health Concern 2. Artificial Sweeteners

Health critics of diet drinks, such as Diet Coke, state that artificial sweeteners cause the brain to react to sweet taste (cephalic phase response) by preparing the liver to receive a new supply of sugar. And if no sugar appears, the liver signals an urge to eat.
