what are your thoughts on it? is it any bit as good as the regular kind in your personal and professional opinions?
It only gets worse

They taste crappy and you have a greater chance of becoming fat drinking them than regular soda.

My psycho meds raise my blood sugar levels. I gained ten pounds the first week I was on them. I switched to diet sodas and never went back. It is really stupid to DRINK SUGAR. I can't think of anything more stupid, except going to casinos.
Sugar is pretty bad for you, especially when you are on meds that increase your blood sugar level.
You get used to the taste of aspertane after a while and it ceases to taste terrible. In fact, I drink a sugar free cranberry juice that I savor with great relish.
Aspertane is a form of phenalalanine, which is similar in structure to the amphetamine molecule. When I enjoy herbs weed)(* and drink my sugar free drink I get the sensation that aspertane produces a very intense, short lived high which is experienced as a pleasant sensation in the brain.
So...
I FUCKING LOVE DIET DRINKS
and ...
Drinking high volumes of sugar is stupid-- it also dehydrates you! Idiocy!
I hate soda. I'd rather have a beer any day.drink(*&

I honestly think it's worse to ingest aspartame than sugar... But maybe that's just me.

depends on weather you want to die of diabetes or cancer. however, sugar actually dehydrates you. I'm not aware if aspertane does that.

See, people love to throw it out there: Sugar dehydrates you. Caffeine dehydrates you.

They sure do take some of the water out of your body. But do you know what makes up 85% of a glass of soda? WATER.

Sugar doesn't dehydrate you enough to make that much of a difference when 85% of what you're drinking is water. You're simply getting LESS hydration than you could be if you were drinking simply water. Not a huge deal.

That actually is true. I found that out like years ago when my health-nut grandma e-mailed my mom about the health hazards about drinking diet sodas. But, I'm ok with the taste of diet sodas tho. I would much rather prefer regular ones though.

It has extra chemicals to make up for the lack of sugar...it will kill you sonner than sugar based sodas...:)
