Hi, just wanted to say that i stopped diet coke last week (been drinking them daily and nightly for more then 30 years) . I just started to notice that my nails looks more healthy and much more whiter. And I sleep much better. I used to have to drink diet coke in the middle of the night numerous times waking up because my mouth was so dry ! Now, I don't need to drink in the middle of my sleep anymore. Let's hope my kidneys , weight and overall health gets better soon. Thanks for your video !!
Congratulations! I hope your health will continue to improve. Thank you for sharing this! I've had this habit maybe 15 years or so. I'm not really sure how long it's been to be honest. I am switching to iced tea!
Yes, it's the dry pasty mouth from meds that water will not touch that draws me back to sodas. The mild acid cuts right through dryness. Also, soda can reduce overall fluid demand on the job-sight and while driving which reduces bathroom breaks that can really mess up the work-flow during demanding work.
The study is like asking people with kidney disease how many sodas did they drink, did they have hyper tension, high blood pressure or high glucose level. give us a link to the papers.
My thought is that all soda is bad for you so if I'm going to have an occasional soda, I may as well get zero calories versus tons of calories with non diet soda.
Great video. Thanks for posting. I need to stop these sodas. I drink probably 4 a day. I recently had a right hemi colectomy and the surgeon told me to STOP drinking these. Everything came back negative for cancer 🙏
I no longer drink diet soda, except for occasionally Zevia which has no added phosphorus. I had been drinking 2 to 3 diet Dr. Peppers a day. 😢 my kidneys are really bad. Dumb choices I made.
Great info! Thank you. I gave up regular soft drinks for Chickfila diet lemonade and coffee with sugar free creamer. Do you suppose that these are still the same category as diet soft drinks??
I’m 71, I’ve been drinking 2 liters of Coca Cola everyday for 63 years . 14 years regular Coke and 49 Diet Coke . So how much do I have to drink for it to be so bad .
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) lists diet soda as safe for diabetics to consume. Diet soda is typically sweetened with one of five artificial sweeteners. These sweeteners do not contain calories (or have less than 20 calories), and the ADA reports that they do not cause a blood glucose reaction.Aug 25, 2017
I don't even know how many years it's been since I've had pop but I have only had water to drink for 1 year now and I love straight water 💧 so I'm staying on it
He dock I use Splenda to sweeting my coffee is that bad for my kidney I have stage 3 kidney desires I also use sugar free drinks those little ones in the pouch
My weight has been constant and fine my whole life. I started drinking diet soda and started picking up weight. Stopped the soda and immediately stated to lose the weight.
Hello Doc! I clean the aquarium for my goldfish with powdered soda! Looks like cocaine or heroin!-) It's nice to look at them when everything is clean! They were so dirty, just like me!-)

Excellent breakdown and very balanced answer, thanks!

Is Diet soda better or worse for kidneys than regular soda?

ARE YOU OVERWEIGHT?
I've read that colored diet drinks use phosphoric acid to improve taste and that those with CKD are to avoid foods containing phosphorus.
ACID IS TO KILL BACTERIA NOT TO IMPROVE TASTE

Anything with artificial sweetener is the same as what’s in diet sodas
There is a better correlation in individual lifestyles than in group statistics.

If you drink more than 12 gallons of soda a day... That's when it's bad, really really bad, like explosively bad😂

Nope it causes more diabetes!🤣
@@jimmylabb5868how exactly?
I also have a feeling big beverage lobbies and stops if not hinders the studying of diet sweeteners

i am drinking one or 2 cups at night with my meals is that bad?
What about full sugar soda? Same advice but just more strict?
probably worse overtime. since its just straight refined sugar. more likely to develop diabetes and any other negative health problems
Is Coke Zero a diet soda?
Yes
My experience with regular cokes,says yes,not sure if it's because of its phosphoric acid,
Over 7 minutes to say, ‘limit or eliminate diet pop/soda.’
Diet sodas have really gone up in price over the last two years. I'll skip them now, and save some money.
My weight has been constant and fine my whole life. I started drinking diet soda and started picking up weight. Stopped the soda and immediately stated to lose the weight.
Thank you for the insight Ms. Archer. Another incentive to stop drinking diet soda.
@@Mark-m9z4q well I drink diet soda while I accurately count my calorie intake. And I’m still losing weight, and I’m not obese.
No soda, no diet soda, no alcohol and guess what? You still die at the end.
Aspartame is the worst for kidneys
Diet soda has potassium in it. Not for dialysis patients.
Every unhealthy person I know drinks diet soda.
There are health benefits to drinking diet, you can lose weight very fast and become healthier, they just aren't suitable for the long term.
Thank you Doctor Blake.

Water, tea and an occasional cup of coffee .. real cream and stevia …
They are expensive and cause health issues! Good enough for me!
🙌
Why are these people trying to take away my joy? 😂
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news😅
LOL it will cause more damage than good because it contained bunch of toxic chemical.
