Diet Pop = Bad

Yeah. I'm definitely not a fan of diet pop.

That really sounds nice Tobi, I can't wait to try this stuff lol.

I had a friend that I worked with who was killed by a diet Pepsi... we were working on a roof on a hot day, we stopped for a break, he downed the soda, within 10 minutes he was dead.
Drink it at your own risk... this garbage should be illegal

Click-on and read each link below... and if you still drink another diet soda then at least you know what the harm is that you're doing to your body...

Sudden Cardiac Death
http://www.livestrong.com/article/301459-the-health-risks-of-diet-pop/
As reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 460,000 people die each year from sudden cardiac death. Sudden cardiac death has been noted as a potential health risk, especially in athletic youth who eat junk food that has monosodium glutamate and drink soda containing aspartame. The research shows that young athletes who consume these products and are depleted of magnesium levels and exercise in extreme heat conditions are at a higher risk of heart failure, because the aspartame further depletes their magnesium levels.

When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in Aspartame coverts to Formaldehyde and then to Formic Acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of Fire Ants.) The Methanol toxicity mimics Multiple Sclerosis; thus, people were being diagnosed with having Multiple Sclerosis in error. The Multiple Sclerosis is not a death sentence, where Methanol toxicity is.

Each diet soda with aspartame produces about 20 mg of methanol. The methanol breaks down further into 6 mg of formaldehyde which is three times the daily EPA limit. It’s 30 times the limit in New Jersey, 100 times the limit in California, and 300 times the limit in Maryland.

I made a lot of healthy changes to my own diet as well... and diet soda (which isn't weight reducing at all!) was the "first" thing that I gave up cause it clearly was among the worst of my habits... I'm hoping over this last year that you've insightfully revisited this decision...

soda is infused/impregnated, or whatever, with carbon dioxide which is a rapid acting blood acidifier that the body is constantly trying to purge itself of. because its in liquid form it gets into the body quickly.

It really is difficult to understand why anyone would be drinking artificial anything at this point -- let's just take a can full of chemicals and dump them down our throat why don't we? Same applies to coffee, caffeine teas, sugar, etc. None of it is good for us, it's mostly all bad. Why do any of it? Drink water and herbal tea, and juice some fruit if you want a sweet treat.
