Diet drinks are carbonated beverages that are sweetened with artificial sweeteners like sucralose, aspartame, or saccharin. These low calorie and low carb drinks are available so soda lovers feel that they are making a healthy choice when they choose a diet soda over a regular soda.
Recent research and studies show that diet drinks are not good for you, and should be avoided because of the artificial sweeteners that are used in the product’s creation. The main reason that diet soda is bad for you is because of the aspartame. There are an abundance of negative side effects associated with aspartame consumption.
Aspartame causes problems in the eyes and ears, including possible blindness in one or both eyes, decreased vision (blurring, bright flashes, tunnel vision), pain in the eyes, tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears), and reduced tolerance of loud noises. In general, your eyes and ears will become more sensitive.
