| |  What do you think about this Diet Coke with Splenda?
Hi, I'm having to drink this new diet Coke with splenda or drink plain water my diabetic teacher has told me. Do you like this drink? Is there any future problems with Splenda when It comes to health?
Thanks, Rob |

Thanks, Rob | What is wrong with the original Diet Coke. I love it. I do not care for the one with splenda.

| | | Why just Diet Coke with Splenda? I cannot "stomach" softdrinks of any kind anymore. They cause my stomach to hurt. I think it is the carbonation, and not the sweetener or the caffienne. I still have one now and then, but just not daily. But, I used almost any kind of soft drink, when I did drink it. Now I drink water or iced tea (with whichever sweetener is on sale). THis is why I figure the caffienne or sweetener doesn't hurt, the tea has both.

| | | I drink so little soda it doesn't matter to me one way or another. I think anything in moderation is ok. |

| | I thought it sucked royally! Had a funky flavor! I'll stick with Diet Coke with the Nutrasweet (Aspertame) tyvm!! If you aren't liking the stuff with Splenda and as long as you don't have any reactions to Aspertame, just drink the "regular" Diet Coke. Believe me, if it was gonna kill you, I'd already be dead!!

| | | ill drink anything diet.... splenda or other wise... my aunt she cant drink aspartme it hurts her stomach so she drink stuff with splenda...
your dietician is off in the head unless there is a reason for you personally such as it hurts your stomach etc..
a diet is a diet, regardless of what its sweetened with

| | | Hi, I'm changing my drink from Diet Coke with Splenda to tea. I hate to say it but I never drinked pop that was diet in my life till now. I just cann't take the taste of diet drinks of any kind. So tea with Nutrasweet or coffee will be my drink for now on.

| | | I love the new Diet Coke with Splenda. However, I must say that my drink of choice will always be iced tea. I don't sweeten it...I used to, when I lived in the south, but I was hard-pressed to find tea that wasn't pre-sweetened for me! |

| | | I prefer Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke. Anything in moderation is okay though but I wouldn't drink just pop all day long. This is at least what my dietitian tells me. |

its odd, i can drink any diet product coke or pepsi (prefer pepsi as always) but i would never drink a regular coke to save my life lol they tasted crappy to me and gave me heartburn.

So it's essentially the same as Diet Coke, yet it tastes different (must have a different flavoring in it?). As does Diet Coke with Splenda! Weird! LOL But I dont like the taste of either the Zero, or the one with Splenda.
