Is diet Pepsi good for people?

Answer 1

: I have recently read an article on both Diet Pepsi and Aspartame. The article stated that "aspartame has been found to be safe for human consumption by more than ninety countries worldwide". This is proved by the FDA AND PBOI. Apartame however shoould NOT be consumed if you have heart promblems or have any family history of heart promblems. AlsoI read this in the article "In 1999, FDA scientists described the safety of aspartame as "clear cut" and stated that the product is "one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved." So there for I will keep drinking my Diet Pepsi products and not worry about if it is good for me or not. I have just looked at the FDA website and searched Aspartame and this is waht it said "However, certain people with the genetic disease phenylketonuria (PKU), and pregnant women with hyperphenylalanine (high levels of phenylalanine in blood) have a problem with aspartame because they do not effectively metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine, one of aspartame's components. High levels of this amino acid in body fluids can cause brain damage. Therefore, FDA has ruled that all products containing aspartame must include a warning to phenylketonurics that the sweetener contains phenylalanine." You can let this decide for you whether or not to drink Diet Pepsi.

Answer 2

Kinda-sorta.

It has less calories than the real thing, which is good.

However, there's some evidence that the artificial sweeteners used actually increase people's appetite, which isn't that welcome if you're trying to stay on a diet.

It's better if you can manage to stay on just water, perhaps with some fruit slices in for flavour.

Answer 3

FDA Approved ingredients BUT REMEMBER ALL THINGS IN MODERATION
