Anyone experience major benefits from quitting diet soda

[Bible_Belt]

I personally prefer unsweetened sodas like La Croix. I don't even like the taste of sweetened sodas anymore (after more than 2 decades of not drinking them), they're just too sweet.

My dad had a similar experience. The mix of acid and high fructose corn syrup in soda also gave him a bunch of dental problems. Now he can't eat a lot of stuff. That high fructose corn syrup junk really should be banned or at least heavily taxed.

It would be good to isolate exactly what chemicals are causing it so that everyone can avoid it.

Lately I mostly drink grapefruit juice with seltzer water.

Try getting some flavored water drops

Any success stories of quitting and seeing major benefits?

No. I drink plenty of it and I’m fine.

It’s been 30 years since I drank soda on any sort of regular basis. As a kid I had regular acne. Soda is so bad for you. I wouldn’t touch it except for a little here and there very sporadically.

The benefits may not be immediate but they will be noticeable over time.

Soda in general is bad for you as it contains phosphoric acid that leaches minerals from your bones and excretes them from the body.

Diet soda in particular has been found to be a metabolic disaster in a can waiting to happen via numerous mechanisms.
