My son used to drink coke zero everyday (he's a bit chubby). I didn't feel good about that, though i didn't know why. I insisted that he switch to regular coke. He has lost a few lbs since switching. I'm not sure if that's just coincidence or not.
I myself wouldn't touch artificial sweeteners. It might be my particular genetics, but fake sugars taste bitter to me. I take it as a hint that my body doesn't like those stuff. And why would I want a bitter drink?
