Diet Sodas - a better option?

Here is an interesting thought. IF you wanted to lose fats, would taking Diet sodas help?

Well, according to the study conducted by the University of Cincinnati Biology Department, here are some results and you decide:

The amount of sugar found in

Diet 7-up ... 0.21 tsp
Diet Pepsi ... 2.14 tsp
Diet Coke ... 3.3 tsp
Coke Classic ... 9.15 tsp
Pepsi ... 9 tsp
Mountain Dew ... 10.4 tsp
Dr Pepper ... 19.17 tsp
A&W Root Beer ... 110.25 tsp

According to the National Soft Drink Association o USA, the average 12 ounce non-diet, carbonated soft drink is equivalent to 10 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories. That amount of sugar can immobilize the immune system by about 33%. About 30 teaspoon can shut down the immune system for the whole day.

How much is too much, how much is enough?
