Oh dear. I am drinking my third can of Coke since I have been pregnant. I feel slightly guilty feeding such a dodgy drink to my unborn child but it just makes me feel so much better. It is my emergency-feeling-really-bad drink and it really does the trick! I never drank Sugar/Fat Coke before I was pregnant only Diet coke. I can't decide which is worse artificial sweetener or a couple of teaspoons of unnecessary sugar??

I'd take sugar over artifical sweetener anyday, whether I'm pregnant or not!

The artifical sweetener used in Diet Coke contains aspartame, which when processed by our bodies produces, among other things, methanol, benzene - a component of petrol - as well as formaldehyde, which is used for preserving organic specimens in scientific laboratories.

All of the above chemicals have an adverse and potentially severe degenerative effect on our brains.

Sugar simply makes us fat. And even then, only when we don't do enough exercise to burn it off.

Diet has no sugar in it Allan- just checked a bottle of Pepsi Maz that I have in the pantry- Carb sugars 0g.
