This is actually not true, it was later determined that it does not affect insulin levels.Originally Posted by Eason
Whew! As one of the dudes on the BC forum whose opinions I value, I will take your word for it, but still think that I should cut back a bit.

While Diet sodas don't cause an insulin spike, they do help keep you addicted to sweets if that's your problem. For some people who have a sweet tooth and are having trouble with their diet, something like a diet coke will send them all the way back to square 1 in their cravings for more sweet things, so it's best to avoid stuff like that altogether if you're trying to cut sugar (and your taste for sugar) out of your diet.

I've been meaning to look into this research because I do recall once reading that simply the sweetness can cause an insulin response although it would definitely have to be some kind of Pavlovian phenomenon.
I know you said some people but I've found quite the opposite. When craving sugar, I find that a nice sweetened cup of tea or a flavored drink like Crystal Lite can usually satisfy me. Chocolate is the problem because when I start craving that or ice cream I'm in trouble.

Indeed. I grew up practically without sodas and never developed a taste for them. I do enjoy the occasional juice or alcoholic drink, and very little coffee, but I have found that nothing quenches my thirst unless it is water. When I drink a sweet drink I usually have to take a glass of water afterwards to cleanse my palate.

We have carbonated water at work that are flavored with fruit oils. No calories, artificial sweeteners, etc. Good substitute for soda, and less boring than regular water. This: http://www.talkingrain.com/products.asp?prodID=2
