Diet Coke

November 17th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Well, drink all the diet coke you want. Drs. Mike Roizen and Mehmet Oz says the link to Diet Coke is debunked:

3. Diet Coke and MS: The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation has debunked the notion that Diet Coke can cause or worsen multiple sclerosis symptoms. Its verdict is backed up by the Food and Drug Administration and other organizations. The notion that Diet Coke can cause neurological disorders may be based on an observation years ago by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which found that aspartame seemed linked to mild neurological problems.

Of course, the studies were probably paid for by The Coca-Cola Company. :P

    I never heard that myth before. Glad to have it debugged even though I don’t drink diet coke.
