Diet vs Regular Soda
I was thinking about this as I sat and sipped on a diet soda, is this good for me??? If a calorie is a calorie is a calorie then yes I am doing a good thing for me by switching to a diet product and reducing the number of calories. Here is the hook as I listened to the radio the "health expert" was saying that diet sodas were as bad for you or even worse than regular soda. One of the major sweetener makers uses chlorine to split the disachride of sugar to make it sweetener. Yes you are ingesting chloride. EEKS! that is scary! I could be killing me by doing something good for me. If anyone out there has an opinion leave a post Ill write back.

I have also heard that diet soda can make you gain more weight than regular soda. Don't know if it is 100% true though.
Splenda is the one that uses chlorine (actually, hydrogen chloride) to split the saccharide molecules. It's the brand name for sucralose. Sucralose does not get absorbed by the body. Also, the chemical processes involved remove the chlorine. Besides, don't you drink tap water? :-)
