Do you think diet coke should have a warning on the pack?

aspartame sounds like nasty stuff... also hyperactivity can be bad...

but is this worth a warning?

Diet Coke: It's really just normal Coke gone flat. You have been warned.

Its about as dangerous as crossing the road. Will we put up a warning about that too?

WindSock · 02-02-2010 4:34pm

I think Diet Coke should be banned aspartame thinks that it is unhealthy and misleading. And the ads suck.

everything is bad for you if you have too much. So why not have a warning on every product.

There are warnings though. Well they're on the ground and they say "look left" or "look right".

i dont know where the line should be drawn on warnings and products ,

but i think this should probably have a warning since some people drink lots of it

It's their choice really. I smoke despite all the warnings. Even if there was a warning people wouldn't stop drinking/eating/smoking products. If it's what you like to do then it's not gonna stop people.

Diet Coke is fcuking horrible though and tastes horrible.

yea but i think the warnings are on smokes to inform not so much discourage,
if you want to smoke its your choice , but if you called a brand of smokes health sticks and had a load of healthy cool people smoking them on an ad.....

Saccharin is probably worse (and any Cola which has it is damn manky)

Sugar probably isint great stuff either (especially if the "sugar" is actually Corn syryp

It's a disgusting product and was passed for FDA approval, without proper testing, at the behest of Donald Rumsfeld who represented Splenda. (the second time he was involved in poisoning people after providing Saddam with chemicals)
White sugar isn't that far behind it, tbh.

Dravokivich · 02-02-2010 4:47pm

So we're gonna have Diet Coke related incidents?

Why not just do what they do with booze and fags... throw an extra tax onto it for all the possible health risks... yada yada ya... da.. ya....

Coke Zero FTW!!!

ContyHooks · 02-02-2010 4:49pm

It's not the aspartame causing the problem, it's what it's broken down into (formaldehyde, phenalynine, aspartate, dkp, etc) in your body where the controversy over health issues arises.

Personally I think it tastes disgusting, full sugar coke all the way!

Do you think diet coke should have a warning on the pack?
