Good things:it has no calories or sugar in it bad things:it's carbonated, and I heard that the ones that contain aspartame tend to make us crave high carbohydrate meals, or was that coffee? I don't know but I'm sure there are some other bad things about it.

princesslodgey Posts: 1,748 Joined: 2004/02/21	2004/09/24, 06:19 AM OK I found 2 studies.... The first looked at bone density in 12-15 year olds - it found that bone density was lower in girls who drank more carbonated drinks (there was no effect detected for boys) The second looked at older women who consumed a moderate amount of carbonated drinks and found no effect on bone density. It's possible that the reason for the lower bone density in the girls is because they are drinking more carbonated drinks they are drinking less milk, or there may be some effect on younger bones.

That's just how the body works... -------------- My mind tells me to win, my spirit shows me how, and my body delivers.
