Can 12 cans of diet soda per day kill you?
In short answer, no.
However, you cannot replace water with diet soda. Yes, it is calories free. However, there are 30 to 40 milligrams caffeine (about half cup of coffee). These extra caffeine can make you addictive to diet soda. Also, you will feel restless, irritable and anxious. Also, it will make your hands tremble and disturb you sleep. In this serious case (12 cans), diet soda can damage to your skeleton because of it’s acid

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. The reason soda is considered detrimental to bone health is because people often replace calcium-containing beverages (milk, fortified soy milk & orange juice, etc.) with soda. The only people who should really limit their soda intake for real health issues are those with kidney disease or congestive heart failure due to the phosphorus and sodium content, and obviously people who are diabetic or overweight shouldn’t drink regular soda because of the sugar/calories.

If you were to remove all the liquid from a can of soda, the amount of sugar would shock you into thinking twice about drinking the stuff.. Good fresh water is the way to go!

I have to disagree with megan, soda should be limited by everyone and not just the sick! Think about it this way, your body is not looking for anything inside that can except the water. So, go and buy yourself some water and nourish that body. You simply cannot beat additive-free, pure, water.

Soda is bad for you regardless. 12 cans a day is too much. I would never drink that much soda. And also, diet soda is a lot more disgusting that regular soda which is already terrible.

I’ve been drinking over 12 cans of soda a day for the past 2 years and i’m still in good shape, very healthy (well, except for minor skin rashes every now and then) and I have no intention of stopping this habbit. can anyone give me a good reason i should probably stop drinking soda? All your theories sound really stupid. I need prove!
