I used to drink about 3-4 cans a day. I quit and lost 5 lbs almost instantly. There's nothing diet about diet sodas.

There are no legitimate studies linking anything negative or positive with artificial sweeteners. They're filtered out by your body and you piss them out, simple as that.
The only studies that I've seen that show any sort of negative impact caused by artificial sweeteners was when they fed enormous quantities to mice.. and they were giving the mice doses that are far beyond what a human could intake.
Everything is chemicals. A molecule is a molecule, be it lab made or naturally occurring.. this 'chemicals are bad!!' trend is stupid.

The older I get the more I think that artificial sweetners are really bad for your overall health. I know if any touch my tongue my ears ring (very badly) for half a day. Read somewhere they affect the nerves of the inner ear. jmho.

Agreed, I've been saying this for years-- Aspartame (the main ingredient in Diet Coke) is the new nicotine.

It's better than a case of bud heavy and a half gallon of bourbon each week, which is probably what a good part of this board consumes

I heard the body treats artificial sweetener as if t is sugar. And that it becomes formaldehyde in the body.

He'd be 6' if he got off those diet sodas. They stunt your growth.

You know pretty much every food in nature contains formaldehyde? You going to quit eating apples?

I seem to have noticed an uptick in my appetite when I drink diet sodas. Some people's bodies may be more sensitive to the artificial sweeteners than others. Some think that the sweeteners can produce an insulin response from the body. I'm trying to ween myself off of them.

Diet Coke tastes terrible but so very many people are addicted to it that the company doesn't dare discontinue it.

Diet Coke is worse than regular coke. But drinking 4+ cans of anything daily, except water, is bad for you. Tell the whale to start drinking water before she goes into diabetic shock and has to lose balloon foot.

When someone orders the fried seafood platter with hush puppies and a loaded potato then tops it off with a diet coke almost daily, it's not the diet coke's fault.

There is some evidence to suggest this and that they can contribute to elevated hunger levels.
This doesn't mean they inherently cause weight gain, though. If calories are controlled, weight stays the same.

i know a skinny set girl that drinks 1-5 a day. she'll probably get alzheimer's. no big deal... she's kind of stupid as it is.
