    Soft drink

    I was going through some of my old notes from back in June this year when I first started to research about swaying. I found something about soft drink / soda.

    It said that diet soda will lower PH, is that true?
    Should I swap to normal soda ?

    Yes, diet soda contains artificial sweetners which lower pH and many of us ttc girls include it in our sways - some of us also include normal soda. I think many of the ttc boy mums are soda drinkers and I believe most have chosen to drop it all together.

    yes it's true if it contains aspartame. Pink swayers are drinking diet drinks for that reason. Full fat versions with real sugar should be fine!

    This exactly! Forget ALL soft drinks, never mind regular or not and stick to the lemon water, 100% orange and lemon juice.

    I agree with ZB, they are not good for you or for fertility in general.....most don't drink them at all when swaying blue. Not that one here and there will kill your sway or anything....

    Although, actually, must add that I think Dr. Pepper (which is also my favorite) was a daily staple for Atomic with all of her pregnancies.

    Better no soda at all. Only club soda. I drink V8 low sodium hot&spicy and V8 fusion , green tea with lemon and pineapple juice, club soda. pretty much that's it. Also some water and maybe apple juice.
