Cameron Diaz Slams Diet Coke – Smoking Is Better!

Hollywood actress Cameroon Diaz is at the centre of heavy criticisms from almost everyone after claiming cigarettes are far healthier than Diet Coke on Chelsea Lately Show early this week.

It’s reported the star, 41 used to smoke up to 20 sticks a day and later quit saying her parents said she was not setting a good example.

But on a US chat show she said: "I think one cigarette once in a while is not going to kill you. Diet Coke is bad news. I’d rather just drink sugar. It's better for you"

She admitted: "It preyed on my conscience. I was killing myself."

Cameron was on the show to promote her bestseller, The Body Book when she slammed hard on coke. However, if Chelsea couldn’t say a thing, Deborah Arnott of Healthy Charity ASH definitely had this to say;

"Cameron Diaz is deluding herself. One cigarette might not kill you, but before you know it you’re smoking five a day and that’s all that’s needed to give you cancer."

Coca-Cola could has made no comments yet but according to UK’s Mirror, Beverage Institute for Health and Wellness defends the use of artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, online.

It says: "An independent panel have confirmed aspartame does not cause health problems."

Wander what Cameron was thinking? Maybe she actually had an experience and decided to air it out loud!
