...Diet Coke
Diet Coke is now the number 2 best selling soft drink in America. Coke was number 1 and Pepsi slid to number 3. Of course the Coca-Cola company is very happy with these results. Pepsi did not advertise its core cola brand during last year's Super Bowl or any televised sporting event while Coke was all over the place. This year Pepsi plans to rev up its ads and gain its number 2 spot back, thought they would love to be number 1. They are even planning on advertising on the new Simon Cowell show "X Factor" to compete against Coca-Cola's "American Idol" sponsorship. Now that all of that has been said I think that Diet Coke being the 2nd most popular drink in America is a little troubling. Everyone who can read and has seen the reports out on diet soft drinks know that diet cola is worse than regular cola. It is more addictive, it causes strokes, osteoporosis, premature birth and kidney damage. They are full of other health-draining chemicals, like caffeine, artificial sweeteners, sodium and phosphoric acid. When given to children it can cause calcification of growing bones. I am not sure which is worse, diet soda or energy drinks. I have not had a soda in almost 6 year, not even a little drop, they are just not good for you! I am giving Diet Coke 2 Digits Down.
