done some more research...
redlemon, i had read that artificial sweeteners prevent your body from have a proper ability understanding of how hungry you are also. it was from a atkin's diet book that warned that you shouldn't drink diet cola as it would make you hungrier and harder to stick to the diet.
additionally, diet cola may lead to a decrease in bone density... but i think that is primarily because it is often a replacement for drinks high in calcium (like juice and milk).
