diet sodas should not make arthritis worse otherwise the sales of these popular drinks would plummet. there are new studies all of the time linking various things to bodily ailments but i have no heard of a diet soda/arthritis link. if i did i would certainly stop the diet sodas for my own arthritis. there is no nutritional value in them and the use of artificial sweeteners in them is of enough concern that i would try & find a healthier way to quench my thirst not to mention the cancer causing caramel coloring found in them. the artificial sweetner has been shown to make some people feel like they have the flu its just a general achiness not any stomach problems.
does diet sodas make arthritis worse?
