    I have always distrusted that stuff. You can taste it is bad. That simple. No diet soda's in this house (and not a lot of soda anyway).

      I stopped drinking any form of pop years ago, and I haven't missed it since.

      Cheers,

        I may drink, perhaps, 3 or 4 cans of pop/year but I never drink the diet versions.

        There are scares that ALL sweeteners, including sucrose and dextrose, are bad for you. So what? We all have to die sometime.

          I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

            Not much of a soda drinker here, and I might drink one ot two cans of the diet stuff a year.

            LOL. Good luck on that. Let me know how it goes.

              Ditto. But just because they suck.

                Oh shit, I drink 1-3 liters of diet Coke every day. Guess it is time to stop, if I can that is.

                      Me too, but my reason is instant headache.

                      Why? Don’t know. But I know about 15 minutes later headache creeps up on me….. .

                        The headache is probably the caffeine withdrawal. My wife used to
                        drink diet coke (now she drinks caffeine free diet coke). And she
                        had headaches when she switched for a little while. Now, if she has
                        a coke at a restaurant (she drinks diet at home but can't stand it from
                        the fountain in the restaurants) she gets a caffeine buzz (heart races,
                        buzzy feeling, etc.).

                        Just my US$0.02 (not that it's worth much )

                          Don't think so, caffeine withdrawal is never a problem for me. I'll have 2 or 3 1/2 liter cops of coffee at work, weekend comes in and I'm coffee free until Monday again.... .

                          It has something to do with the artificial sweetener.

                            I think they should quit making Rats drink diet soft drinks....
