Is Diet soda better or worse for kidneys than regular soda?

Hi, just wanted to say that i stopped diet coke last week (been drinking them daily and nightly for more then 30 years) . I just started to notice that my nails looks more healthy and much more whiter. And I sleep much better. I used to have to drink diet coke in the middle of the night numerous times waking up because my mouth was so dry ! Now, I don't need to drink in the middle of my sleep anymore. Let's hope my kidneys , weight and overall health gets better soon. Thanks for your video !!

Excellent breakdown and very balanced answer, thanks!

I also have a feeling big beverage lobbies and stops if not hinders the studying of diet sweeteners

No soda, no diet soda, no alcohol and guess what? You still die at the end.

I’m 71, I’ve been drinking 2 liters of Coca Cola everyday for 63 years . 14 years regular Coke and 49 Diet Coke . So how much do I have to drink for it to be so bad .

I no longer drink diet soda, except for occasionally Zevia which has no added phosphorus. I had been drinking 2 to 3 diet Dr. Peppers a day. 😢 my kidneys are really bad. Dumb choices I made.

ARE YOU OVERWEIGHT?

Great video. Thanks for posting. I need to stop these sodas. I drink probably 4 a day. I recently had a right hemi colectomy and the surgeon told me to STOP drinking these. Everything came back negative for cancer 🙏

The study is like asking people with kidney disease how many sodas did they drink, did they have hyper tension, high blood pressure or high glucose level. give us a link to the papers.

Great info! Thank you. I gave up regular soft drinks for Chickfila diet lemonade and coffee with sugar free creamer. Do you suppose that these are still the same category as diet soft drinks??

Anything with artificial sweetener is the same as what’s in diet sodas

I've read that colored diet drinks use phosphoric acid to improve taste and that those with CKD are to avoid foods containing phosphorus.

ACID IS TO KILL BACTERIA NOT TO IMPROVE TASTE

My thought is that all soda is bad for you so if I'm going to have an occasional soda, I may as well get zero calories versus tons of calories with non diet soda.

Diet sodas have really gone up in price over the last two years. I'll skip them now, and save some money.

i am drinking one or 2 cups at night with my meals is that bad?

There is a better correlation in individual lifestyles than in group statistics.

Is Coke Zero a diet soda?

Yes

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) lists diet soda as safe for diabetics to consume. Diet soda is typically sweetened with one of five artificial sweeteners. These sweeteners do not contain calories (or have less than 20 calories), and the ADA reports that they do not cause a blood glucose reaction.Aug 25, 2017

He dock I use Splenda to sweeting my coffee is that bad for my kidney I have stage 3 kidney desires I also use sugar free drinks those little ones in the pouch

I don't even know how many years it's been since I've had pop but I have only had water to drink for 1 year now and I love straight water 💧 so I'm staying on it

What about full sugar soda? Same advice but just more strict?

probably worse overtime. since its just straight refined sugar. more likely to develop diabetes and any other negative health problems

Over 7 minutes to say, ‘limit or eliminate diet pop/soda.’

My weight has been constant and fine my whole life. I started drinking diet soda and started picking up weight. Stopped the soda and immediately stated to lose the weight.

@@user-kn6sz8ji1j well I drink diet soda while I accurately count my calorie intake. And I’m still losing weight, and I’m not obese.

My experience with regular cokes,says yes,not sure if it's because of its phosphoric acid,

Aspartame is the worst for kidneys

Every unhealthy person I know drinks diet soda.

Diet soda has potassium in it. Not for dialysis patients.

Thank you Doctor Blake.

Water, tea and an occasional cup of coffee .. real cream and stevia …

There are health benefits to drinking diet, you can lose weight very fast and become healthier, they just aren't suitable for the long term.

LOL it will cause more damage than good because it contained bunch of toxic chemical.
