Description of Problem • By over-consuming Diet Pepsi, no water or other beverages such as juices are consumed in my diet. • The habit of consuming Diet Pepsi in the evening results in frequent trips to the bathroom during the night. • Diet Pepsi is high in sodium, which can contribute to hypertension. Diet sodas also affect intake of various minerals and vitamins. • In diet sodas, artificial sweeteners may raise health concerns. Aspartame has been linked in human studies to urinary-bladder cancer and in animal studies to cancers of the bladder and other organs.

  5. Description of Problem • Diet Pepsi is high in caffeine which can lead to dependence on the product. Caffeine can cause nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, and rapid heart beat. • One problem with caffeine is that it increases the excretion of calcium in urine. Drinking 12 ounces of caffeine-containing soft drink causes the loss of about 20 milligrams of calcium, or two percent of the U.S. RDA (or Daily Value). • The cost of purchasing Diet Pepsi is costly, with little nutritional benefits.
