Your mom was probably talking about the artificial sweetener, Aspartame. Its a active ingredient for diet sodas like coke and artificial coffee sugar. But is it really bad for you? Well, after reading up on this my opinion on it is, No it doesn't do anything to you. Another one of those urban myths me thinks, lol. If you want proof read through this link:100marios said:My mom tells me they found something bad in the diet cokes. I forgot what it was exactly, but it's really, not a good thing. It just be as bad as drinking the real deal....
No, it wasn't that. I knew of that a long time ago. My mom started to get a little worried about this new thing she found....Kairyu said:Hmm well another fun alternative is to take up swimming at your local public swimming pool. Try to swim two or three laps to get a taste on how strenuous it really is, cool part is you're basically excersing your whole body. Doing this plus following a good diet will whip you in shape within a few months. But like DT said, you can't be lazy about it.
Oh and do not eat right before doing any exercise, especially the one I just mentioned.

Well, yes, you're right. ^_^; I probably sounded dumb, lol. It does help if you eat healthy foods, even when you can't excercise.Kairi said:Well, I don't know. Some people probably can't get out and exercise. Even if you can't, and/or aren't overweight, a good diet will benefit you on some levels. ^_^
Hmm, okay. I've read some other proof that it is unhealthy from some doctors, though. One from a very trusted one. I don't really understand all of it, but it sounds like it would make sense, lol. Here are two pretty good links. One is a question-and-answer thing, and the other just explains the whole thing. I haven't read all of so I don't know everything yet. x_x;Kairyu said:Your mom was probably talking about the artificial sweetener, Aspartame.
