No. Do some searches on fructose, sucrose, they all break down into sugar in your body-- even though its not called sugar. This is why dried fruits and high carb levels are also off limits-- its the same as eating plain sugar.

Also Diet Coke is horrrrrible for detox efforts. Try out Zevia, they have it at whole foods-- made with stevia (herb), no sugar no calories, I love it :-)

GREEN TEA is good. YOGI CHAI GREEN is my favorite.

Diet soda is very toxic to a human for many reasons, some described here:

Excitotoxins; MSG; Aspartame; & "Natural" Flavors

I've read that artificial sweeteners reduce "friendly" bacteria in the gut.

If you want carbonated beverages, buy plain sparkling water and put fresh squeezed lemon juice & a little stevia in it.

Just an FYI Zevia soda also has Erithryol in it. Doesn't bother me, but it's not 100% stevia as they lead you to believe.

yea yeast is a big problem for me, diet coke always gives me a strange buzz, not horrific, but its better then sugar so I justify it. In the end though aspartame is a nasty toxin that none of us need. Splenda was alot better for me. So I drink weight watchers diet soda with splenda, has plenty of flavor and no ill effects.
