I think if you were drinking a bunch of normal soda and switched to diet, you would lose quite a bit of weight. Normal soda is horrible for you.

I suppose it's relatively better, but considering the taste, wouldn't some sort of juice/tea/water be better anyway?

flavoured water!
But some people prefer the taste of aspertane/splenda. Others feel like their being health contentious. (haha yeah right) Others are diabetic.
My school is like that. Everyone either has a coffee, bubble tea, water or diet pop.
Does asperatane give you cancer?

It's not really conclusive either way right now. I think it caused some types of cancer in rats with extremely large doses of it (amounts that would be difficult for a human to ingest in soda).
I dunno, I prefer the taste of diet Coke to regular, just because it is lighter and doesn't bog me down really. I don't drink too much soda anyways.

I thought it was cyclamate, not aspertame.

Doesn't your body not digest aspartame at all?
And yeah, the only useful purpose is for people with diabetes. Drinking soda is NOT an efficient way to lose weight

Exactly. Thy don't want to lose business with people trying to lose weight, so they basically made a drink that says "Here fatty, drink this instead."

Your body doesn't digest corn either. It doesn't mean it kills you.

Where'd that come from
Also

Your body does digest corn; it simply can't chew through all of the cellulose on every kernel in time so a good deal of the kernels are untouched.

I heard that diet soda also tricks your body into thinking that you're drinking a regular soda, packed with calories/sugar, so your body tries to burn all of that sugar but when it realizes that it's not there, your body starts to get hungry.. reversing the entire effect of diet soda.
