To sweeten diet soda sugar is NOT used but rather sweetened with artificial sweeteners such as Splenda, aspartame and aceytelfame potassium. These are calorie-free and do not spike insulin which is why it is recommended for diabetics, especially.
Regular sodas are sweetened with regular sugar (high fructose corn syrup).
Diet drinks contain a chemical sweetener. This chemical sweetener have been found in recent studies can actually make you gain weight, because your body starts to crave intensely sweet or calorie loaded foods. I didn’t want to believe it until I cut out all “diet” drinks and foods which contains artificial sweetener and then I started to lose weight and craved less fatty and sweet foods.
Regular soda contains cane sugar as a sweetener and effectively contains more calories, but it is far healthier.
