Answer #6

You do NOT get cancer from diet coke.

Here’s what I found:

Mayo Clinic dietitian Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D., and colleagues answer select questions from readers. Answer Drinking a reasonable amount of diet soda a day, such as a can or two, isn’t likely to hurt you. The artificial sweeteners and other chemicals used in diet soda are safe for most people, and there’s no evidence that these ingredients cause cancer. Some types of diet soda are even fortified with vitamins and minerals. But diet soda isn’t a health drink or a cure for weight loss. Although switching from regular soda to diet soda will save you calories, some studies suggest that drinking soda of any type leads to obesity and other health problems. And healthier choices abound. Start your day with a small glass of 100-percent fruit juice. Drink skim milk with meals. Sip water throughout the day. For variety, try sparkling water or enjoy a squirt of lemon or cranberry juice in your water. Save diet soda for an occasional treat.

Answer #7

I knew someone who got addicted to drinking diet coke. She would have to drink it every day or she got really irritable. And when she decided to stop, it was like watching someone try to quit smoking - she struggled a lot and was moody but eventually managed to ‘quit.’ Although she was probably more sensitive than most people, the fact that it did that to her proves how many chemicals and other artificial nasties it must have in it.
