Answers:
Yes. Aspartame not only eats at your teach but it is proven to cause many diseases including cancer. My doctor told me it also causes you to retain, so it in general causes you to gain wait. Diet soda is really unhealthy for you and proven more and more so every day. I think you should stick to water or non-sweetened drinks. As long as you brush your teeth often, soda generally won't produce cavaties. Good Luck!Health Question & Answer

Sugar is not the only problem in soda. The acid that gives the soda its fizz is equally harmful. If you have to drink soda, drink it through a straw and then use a fluoride rinse before bed, after you've brushed and flossed. This should help counter the harmful effects of the soda.Health Question & Answer
