DID YOU KNOW ................

IF YOU RUN FOR 30 MINUTES AND THEN DRINK A CAN OF COKE, YOU WILL HAVE  LOST NO CALORIES AT ALL

A 330 ml can of Diet Coke contains around 1.3 Calories (5 kilojoules) compared to 142 Calories (595 kJ) for a regular can of Coca-Cola. But that doesn't mean that Diet Coke is healthier.

For one thing, the sweetener in Diet Coke is Aspartame, and has been under controversy for some time as to whether the FDA should ever have approved it.

From Wikipedia: "Some studies have also recommended further investigation into connections between aspartame and diseases such as brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma. These findings, combined with notable conflicts of interest in the approval process, have engendered vocal activism regarding the possible risks of aspartame."

Aspartame is NOT a natural substance!
Aspartame was originally BANNED by the FDA
Aspartame is NOT a diet product!
Aspartame can actually make you GAIN weight.
Aspartame is NOT safe – for ANYONE!
Aspartame is NOT a food additive
Aspartame is an UNREGULATED and UNSAFE DRUG!
In liquids aspartame turns to FORMALDEHYDE above freezing!
Aspartame is even worse for diabetics!
Aspartame poisoning is cumulative (it adds up!)


But health risks of Aspartame aside, the illusion that it provides a healthy alternative for dieters is a false one. Diet Coke produces a sharp spike in insulin, which blocks the breakdown of fat. The fact of the matter is that if your goal is fat loss, sweet products of any sort will block your path, regardless of their associated calories. Secondly, aspartame interferes with the bodies feelings of satiety by disrupting the chemical processes that use the mouth to calculate how much you've consumed. Basically, Diet Coke makes you keep eating longer than you would have without it.
