There are no proven connection between artificial sweeteners and neurochemistry at all. I don't know where you heard this, but until a study tells you to worry, don't worry! Otherwise, you can wory about anything which hasn't been looked into. Does cheese make my toes bigger? Will looking at plastic make my nostrils fall off? If so, how many pounds of plastic do I have to look at per nostril?\n\nDrink away, dear.

You had better believe it....If we treat our machines like we treat our bodies, we would be considered as being reckless. Improving brain cells can be accomplished by (basically) the following points.\n\nSTAYING MENTALLY ACTIVE: Mentally stimulating activities strengthen brain cells and the connections between them, and may even create new nerve cells.\n \n REMAINING SOCIALLY ACTIVE: Social activity not only makes physical and mental activity more enjoyable, it can reduce stress levels, which helps maintain healthy connections among brain cells.\n \nSTAY PHYSICALLY ACTIVE:Physical exercise is essential for maintaining good blood flow to the brain as well as to encourage new brain cells. It also can significantly reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes, and thereby protect against those risk factors for Alzheimer's and other dementias. \n \nADOPTING A BRAIN-HEALTHY DIET:Research suggests that high cholesterol may contribute to stroke and brain cell damage. A low fat, low cholesterol diet is advisable. And there is growing evidence that a diet rich in dark vegetables and fruits, which contain antioxidants, may help protect brain cells.

Yup. The active ingredient, I think the abbreviation is THC, sticks around in the body for years. It also can damage sperm cells (knocks their tails off).\n\nAs the saying goes, "Pot smokers can't remember the brains they've lost."

Why would you think a synthetic chemical (it has nothing not created in a lab in it) that you are probably addicted to (otherwise you wouldn't be asking and which was purposely made with addictive chemicals) would not be bad for you?\n\nMy question to you is why you are only worried about your triglyceride levels?  Not about your brain cells or diseases(like cancer) caused by cell mutating ingested "foods"?\n\nThey don't call it "cola wars" because of the battle between Pepsi and Coke.  It is a profiteering war against YOU and your health.\n\nDon't fall for it.

Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi contain aspertame which can hinder your progress if you're trying to lose weight on a low carb diet.  They both also contain a lot of caffiene which can constrict blood vessels (not good!).  \n\nYou're probably much better off choosing another beverage with less preservatives and caffiene when it comes to your health.  Of course, if you drink them in moderation, I'm sure not much harm is done.

First of all, u are doing it the wrong way...U MUST eat 3 meals a day even if they are small ones.  Eat more vegetables and lean meat.  Cut down on your coke and go into diet coke or coke zero.  Be careful, what u are telling me is that u are going to make yourself sick.  If u need help go see your doctor

i remember a science project that i did. you should try something that no will think of. make the gysers with mentoes and diet coke. its very fun, hot, and interesting. but, its very messy. you could even do this do get out of school. put some diet coke in your mouth. then swallow it REALLY, REALLY fast with some mentoes. you'll throw up, then you'll get to go home.

It kills brain cells but you should have more than enough extra ones that it doesnt seem to concern too many people.  When your body metabolizes the alcohol, it turns it into liver fat and over a long period of time can decrease your body's ability to filter your blood through the liver.  It also dehydrates you and this is bad if you are an athlete.  In moderation, your body can deal with most of the bad stuff.

aspartame is carcinogenic in large quantities (like most chemically-formulated foods). its also linked to neuro-muscular problems and headaches. personally, i won't touch the stuff. i'd rather be fat than dead.

Hello Summerspirit,\n\nThanks for your question. I think this question deserved a better reponse than what it has received till now. Anyways, I'll try to compensate: \n\nFirst of all, neurons don't usually die at all. The neurons are the cells with the least regenerative powers in our body. Once killed, they cannot be replaced! But, as we grow older, some wear and tear is unavoidable and brain cells too are no exception to the wear and tear of ageing. \n\nStill, the brain cells are the last to die in our bodies as they are kept well oxygenated by an abundant blood supply.\n\nNow, the neuroglia cells that support the neurons are not as sustainable as the neurons and thus, are subject to regular wear and tear. So, there must be a path for them and other metabolic wastes to leave the brain, right? \n\nOur brain as opposed to popular conception is not a lump of matter floating in blood. It is floating alright but, not directly in blood. The brain floats in a colorless, transparent, plasma-like fluid called Cerebro-Spinal Fluid or CSF. The fluid provides a one way traffic from the cavities and membranes of the brain to the vein carrying used blood.\n\nSo, the CSF takes the dead brain-cells and flows towards a blood stream, then the waste matter is transferred to the blood.\n\nThe blood then takes the stuff to the kidneys which is known as the sieve of the human body. Kidney filters the metabolic waste from the blood to urine from where it is passed from the body.\n\nHope it helped to keep your summer spirit alive! Bye!

Coke, not diet coke, contains high fructose corn syrup which is implicated in obesity as well as type 2 diabetes and hyperinsulinemia.  On the plus side, consumption of high fructose corn syrup with alcohol helps to reduce hangover the next day, by speeding the metabolism of alcohol.\n\nCaffeine, which is in both Coke and Diet Coke, has been shown to have positive mental and physical effects in moderate doses.\n\nCoke is also bad for your teeth.  It has phosphoric acid and probably some other acidic compounds that can take a toll on the enamel of your teeth.
