I have always loved Diet Coke and have always drank several cans a day but here lately I am drinking diet coke like crazy. I would estimate 10-12 a day. Think its an addiction?

I'd say thats quite a lot. Doctors say more than a can a day is bad.

How is a can a day bad? Each can is less than 1 calorie. But it sounds like your pretty addicted.

Dude, that's nothing. I'm addicted to regular coke, and caffeine in general. If I don't have at least SOMETHING with caffeine everyday or after a long period of time, i'll get massive headaches that won't go away until I drink a Cola, or get coffee. They're so bad that I when I get them, I can't do anything but lay down and put pressure on my head for many hours at a time. I love IT!  |

Anyone who claims it is is blowing smoke up your ass. Artificial sweetener, while lacking the calories of regular sugar, is just as bad for you. The chemicals in that stuff is not good for your body. Anything in small doses isn't bad for you... if you drink one coke a day, its not going to kill you. However, drinking 12 servings of anything aside from water a day really isn't the best for you. My fluid intake is usually 6-8 bottles of water a day, a bottle of vitamin water with dinner, and usually like 12 beers and 8 shots of jamesons irish whisey when I am feeling crazy. |

coke is addictive because of the certain drugs in it, but coke rots your teeth easily and is like most junk food, ok in small doses really bad in large doses.

I asked my Doctor about this as I've been drinking a lot of Diet Coke myself and he told me that from everything he has seen there is nothing wrong with it. It isn't going to do anything to you. He said that he much rather I drink Diet Coke then regular Coke just because of the sugar and what not. He flat out told me there was nothing wrong with drinking that much Diet Coke and it wont do anything to you. |

Yep, that is addiction. I was watch Street Doctor (UK programmer) The woman say she addiction on Diet Coke, and not realise that is extreme dangerous, because that could lead the bowel cancer.
So, you obviously need go to see doctor, for in case you may have bowel cancer or so?

It's not an addiction, because there's nothing in Diet Coke that's particularly addicitive aside from caffeine. ANd if you were addicted to the caffeine, you'd find a better fix than Diet Coke.
What you've got is merely a form of voluntary gluttony.

Addiction is defined by constant abuse regardless of personal and physical effect. So unless your Coke use has ostracized you from the community and has landed you in prison or the ER, I wouldn't say it's an addiction. Chances are though, eventually if it really is 10-12 cans a day, and you are blowing loads of cash on the stuff and you're going to get sick and don't care and still drink it, then yeah, it's gonna be started to be classified as an addiction.

It might be a little better, based on the calorie factor. But it contains a lot of high fructose corn syrup. I'm not sure if you have any knowledge of it, but its been a big issue over the last several years. There is still a lot of testing being done, but a lot of research is connecting it with heart disease. |
