I think it's not the best but it's better than drinking regular soda all the time with all that sugar! I drink it occasionally so i guess its okay. I also drink Fuze slenderize drinks and green tea.

I heard diet soft drinks are either equally bad or more worse than regular; I can't remember which.

I used to think the same way, hate anything diet, thought it was gross and couldn't figure out why ppl drank it but then when i tried coke ZERO and Pepsi MAX i like them, they are diet but don't taste it at all!

I used to be a diet soda junkie. A 6 pack per day was easy. But, after I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I found out that the aspartame in diet pop can cause and mimick MS. Since then, 1 1/2 years, I have not drank any aspartame. I drink only drinks with splenda in it and only maybe 1 can per day. For me, its iced tea sweetened with stevia. I drank diet pop for 40 years. I have always had a weight problem and the diet pop never "helped" me loose weight. Google aspartame!!! You will be surprised on what you find out about it. Hope this helps. Lynn

any artificial sweetner (including splenda) consumed in large quantities can lead to cancerous effects. many of the diet soda addicts drink a considerable amount over a long period of time which can lead to these problems. however, an occassional soda or two will not be harmful.

I just can't drink them. I'd rather have a good old coke, and do a little more excerise.

I don't drink soda very often. The sugar's not good for you and it can wreck some serious havoc on your teeth. That being said, I think diet soda is icky and when I do have one it's usually Dr Pepper. Otherwise, I drink ice water.

I wish I did like Diet, but I don't think anything tastes better than a good real dr pepper. But I drink maybe 1/2 can maybe every other day, I can't drink a whole can anymore. I probably drink 2 pitchers of water a day, and maybe a glass of tea. But I prefer water.
