Default Don't Drink Diet Soda!!

Sorry Candy Land girls but if you drink diet soda it looks like you are at a higher risk of gaining weight than if you drink regular.

Skip the Diet Soda on Yahoo! Health

Ash drinks diet coke only now. She has been on weight watchers to lose her baby weight and on their points scale it is 0. I will send her to the link though.

Also, never let a Diet Coke get hot. Once it gets hot the stuff in it turns into a type of acid and will burn the taste buds on your tongue. My dad couldn't really taaste anything for 9 months. It was pretty funny.

Actually, the Aspertame turns to Formaldehyde. Bad stuff.

One more good reason to drink the crap. If the before and after taste wasn't enough to gag a maggot.
