Diet cola problems

Are diet colas yang in nature? Could drinking it all the time cause a yang excess in the body? Maybe the organs too.

In my understanding any carbonated drink is yang in nature. Drinking any kind of soda, diet or regular, is not going to be beneficial for your health.

Diet cola is so bad for you psychologically and systemically health wise that it isn’t even worth categorizing, but generally, yes, sugar, is yang in nature. A good read is “”.

Thanks so much Chad!! I had my issues mentally before I became a pop-aholic. I sure don’t feel good after or while drinking it. But it’s sweet because of that aspartame. Or sucralose.
