I'm not really fond of fizzy drinks or sodas but occasionally I like to have a glass or half diet coke. Any advice in long term effects please folk?
 
I drink zero coke and find that is ok but find diet lemonade a big no
 
I only drink them if out and I just don't fancy a cup of tea or water, no harm in the odd one or two, but I would get a headache and feel bloated if I had more than that or on a regular basis.
 
I drink sugar free stuff with impunity. There are lots of theories about it, one being it encourages a sweet tooth and could possibly cause an insulin response. It’s up to you to decide what you believe.

Quick tip, don’t get the stuff from a pump. Not only is the stuff vile but it’s likely to be dispensed from tubes holding the sugar stuff. If you’re not sure, use your meter to test.
