The new Dr Pepper Zero Sugar isn't bad as long as it's cold. Coke Zero just changed slightly. I can't put my finger on what's different, but whatever it is I don't like it. Still better than Diet Coke though. Again, don't let it get warm.

I just stick with my old standby.....Diet Pepsi.

My opinion—diet drinks or any drink with artificial sweeteners will not help with weight loss. Do you know anyone we had shed pounds drinking diet sodas?

The Sucralose and other artificial sweeteners increase insulin levels which causes weight gain. The artificial sweeteners are so sweet that the Taste buds think they are getting glucose but the brain doesn’t get the glucose so the cravings for real sugar actually increases.

I recommend the book “The obesity Code” by Dr. Fung for more detail.

I switched to Topo Chico mineral water as a substitute for soda and really like it!
