Answer by  John (9008)

No soda is anything approaching good for you. Both are heavily processed and contain lots of artificial ingredients. That being said, diet coke is much better for you than regular coke. The main difference is that regular coke is a huge amount of sugar in it, which makes it a surprisingly high-calorie beverage. Neither is really healthy, however.

There is a trade off here -- there is tons of sugar in regular coke, but diet is loaded with artifical sweeteners. some studies have linked these sweeteners to helath problems, including cancers. If you can burn the sugar calories, I would opt for that -- if not, go diet.

If you are diabetic- then choose diet Coke. If you drink a lot of it, I'd choose the diet simply to save calories. On the other hand, artificial sweeteners aren't super healthy for you, so if soda is a now and then treat, go for the real sugar in regular.

Regular coke is better because it has less chemicals in it. Diet coke also only has sodium in its nutritional facts which is less than regular coke.

Not necessarily. Diet coke has no calories but it does have a higher sodium content as well as various other potentially harmful chemicals in it. Regular coke has the same amount of calories in most soft drinks. Neither are particularly good for you.

There is no comparison between the two. Regular is much better than diet. There is nothing that tastes as good as regular Coke.
