i recently quit drinking soda in favor of diet lipton green tea. my thinking is all that sugar found in soda cant be good and now i hear that an ingredient found in most diet drinks are harmful. i just cant win.

I made the same switch, and while it is true that the sugar substitute used in the green tea may have shown issues in testing, you need to be aware that the testing is NOT what happens in real life… the amounts ingested to cause us the same problem that were found in labs are astronomical. Meanwhile there are large amounts of antioxidants in green tea and those help to ameliorate the possible effects of the artificial sweetner. I drink it without concerns.

    why not just make your own green tea? it’s more cost effective and you will know exactly what’s in it.

    Why don’t you take the safe road and brew your own tea at home and take it with you in a travel mug? You can add a little bit of regular sugar or honey to sweeten it up without adding harmful chemicals. The ingredient found in diet drinks has actually been proven to increase your appetite and your chance of obesity! Adding a teaspoon of sugar only adds 15 calories and is much better for you than artificial sweeteners. Plus, green tea helps you lose weight gradually over time.

    diet drinks arent really that good considering:

    it is unhealthy for you and can cause cancer

    you have an urge to eat more since diet lipton doesnt have a lot of calories

    I personally think that diet tastes really weird and not that good

    my suggestion is that drinking water is the best!!! And you dont have to quit soda but as long as you only drink it occasionally!!! Or you could get the regular lipton green tea. Its soooooooo good!!
