How to convince a Chemistry Major Diet Coke is unhealthy for you?
theanswerisnot42 asked:
What about diet coke is unhealthy? If you know chemicals it will be appreciated. My roommate downs diet coke like their is no tomorrow and his rationale is “Their is nothing about it that is bad for you”. Any thoughts?
The phosphoric and citric acid can wear down his teeth, assuming he is really drinking several a day. There is also a small amount of caffeine in it. Other than that, it really isn’t harmful.
I wouldn’t argue with a Chemistry Major.
Aspartame is the most controversial ingredient in Diet Coke, but it really hasn’t been proven to be unhealthy.
