Adderall in Poker?

I love how something with such a lack of nutrients ( in fact it has negative nutrients) can be considered something good for you because of what it doesn't have in it. Even plain tap water would have far better benefits for you than diet soda. ( I hate tap water FWIW ) Switching from Sugared soda to diet isn't going to cause you weight loss, it's just going to stop you from weight gain and will provide nothing in terms of health. I would also like to point out that it has been proven that diet soda causes blood sugar/insulin swings even though there is no sugar present. These swings may be ok for healthy individuals with a properly functioning pancreas and good insulin reception. When you are susceptible to metabolic diseases or Syndrome X as some refer then diet soda is not a weight loss aid.

Oh and fuck nutritionists, they know shit so long as they have to follow USDA guidelines and

Curious -- why? Is it just a taste thing for you? What do you drink instead? I pretty much only drink water -- from the tap, but filtered. Except when I drink booze, of course.

Some study earlier this year showed that drinking a lot of diet soda may actually contribute to obesity. The theory is that it confuses your brain -- the brain senses sweetness and expects sugar (calories). When those calories don't arrive, the brain starts to assume that everything you eat works the same way (low in calories), so it makes your body crave more food in general, to compensate. Google "diet soda tricks brain" and you'll find tons of articles on it.
