diet coke is bad enough as it is let alone adding that splenda crap to
it. drinking coke is not good for anyone, why would people want a diet
version of it to begin with? there are so many other alternitives when
it comes to drinks that diet pop shouldn't need to be on the market.
ever read a list of what they put in it?

I'll stick with Diet Rite, for the most part - now, if Coke will put out a
caffeine-free Diet version with Splenda, they'll have me as an occasional
customer.

FWIW: My doc told me to switch from Diet Coke to Diet Rite as Diet
Rite was sweetened with Splenda. He mentioned that the Splenda was not
only better for my kidneys but for my whole body as well. Like you, if
they come out with a caffeine free Diet Coke with Splenda I might
switch back.

Regards.

hey mack did you read his post? he didn't say diet pop contributed to
his diabetes but he thinks drinking all that regular coke may have.
even though there is no proven link that it does but if he's type 2 and
overweight because of all that real coke then it did in some way.

You're right, mr slang--ma=A2k, I was talking about regular coke.

And, mrslang, you're right about T2 and being overweight. I assumed all
the regular soda contributed in some way, along with my other less than
healthy eating habits. Usually preceding those cokes was a pizza or a
couple of big macs and fries.

Been regular soda free since being diagnosed (Jan this year.)

Still can't find Diet Coke with Splenda locally, but from what I'm
reading, maybe that's not a bad thing. Gonna go chug a Diet Rite, Rite
Now!

If you would like to try the coke w/splenda check the coolers where they
keep the individual 20 oz bottles. That is the only place I have seen them,
so far, except for once I found some small 12oz bottles, not on ice, in a
special display.

my mistake, for some reason I inserted the word Diet before the word
Coke in my mind when I was reading it, when it wasn't there to begin
with. I apologize.

Thanks for the correction.

No twit,
drinking coke does NOT contribute to diabetes.

If you HAVE uncontrolled diabetes, your consumption of fluids goes way
up until you get your BG to stay below 200, NOT the other way around

ted rosenberg stopped his tourettes long enough to sputter:

well, turdmonger, it does if a person drinks lots of it and it puts on
weight because of it. excess weight CAN contribute to Type 2 diabetes.

If you HAVE uncontrolled diabetes, your consumption of fluids goes way
up until you get your BG to stay below 200, NOT the other way around

did you even read the thread, fartknocker? the peson who posted the
message said that coke did contribute to his added weight and that
means it increased the possibility of type 2

hey at least mack was big enough to admit he was wrong. now how about
you twaddle walker?

Ted, that's not a statement I'd make too often if I were
you. Ignorance includes failure to check the backgrounds of
posters to see if they're genuine before wading in wearing
hob-nailed boots.

I accept that I'm ignorant - if I knew it all I wouldn't
need to be here.


Cheers Alan, T2, Australia.

It looks to me like they were talking about non-diet drinks.
