Has anyone else's doctor told them to drink diet soda?

I told my doctor I only have one Pepsi at dinner she looked at me and said that's 365 sodas a year and showed how much sugar is in one can. I went cold turkey

I drink regular coke I have 2 or so a day my baby is doing fine.

@gracelyns_keeper656, I'm a clinical researcher for the FDA and have worked on several studies regarding the harm linked to aspartame consumption. I'd be happy to send you any links to the multiple studies that are out there. Unfortunately, that stuff is pretty bad for us. 😳

@kcal12,

I won't drink it regardless. I don't think one soda a day will hurt me. @hale @gracelyns_keeper656 @levleah

That's what my doctor told me, she said there was a study done and everything @hale

@gracelyns_keeper656, aspartame isn't safe for anyone. Just saying.

Actually my doctor said aspartame was proven safe for baby😊

I've had about 5 diet cokes this whole pregnancy, but I know better and am cutting them out for good. Aspartame in diet is way worse for you and baby than the sugar in regular coke.

Oh no diet has aspertame in it and that stuff is no good!

I think it's disgusting. Just like that coke zero stuff! @queeneden

I'd rather drink a regular soda followed by a bunch of water. Diet soda is poison in my opinion.

I don't like diet to begin with. Plus he only wants me to have 20oz a day. I usually drink water anyway. I just wanted a coke. I get a 32oz from speedway. @queeneden

No way. I would never put that in my body.
