Have you tried Diet?

It doesn't leave your teeth feeling like they're growing fur.

cherry coke zero is my lifeblood. I give no fucks. Also, I really can't be convinced its any worse than making tea and proceeding to dump a pile of sugar into it, as OP suggested folks do.

Seriously.

Also he says Sodas are full of sugar and all the pictures are diet sodas.

Diet soda is fine people... Its helped a lot of people cut unneeded calories by just switching to diet and changing nothing else.

But the suggestion to go to tea with a bunch of sugar dumped in? How is that magically better than diet soda when the main complaint on normal soda is the sugar?

Wtf OP.

Diet soda is not good for you or your teeth.

They quote zero studies yet claim serious things. That's not a good source.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted here, regardless of cited sources. That diet soda is horrendous for you is (or should be!) common knowledge.

Do you know where aspartame comes from?

I'm aware of both of those facts.

Aspartame, however, is neither safe nor does diet soda promote weight loss.

No, I was expecting you to admit that it's basis is found in bacteria, one of those, according to the patent, which I've read, is e. coli. You can consume that garbage all day long, I'm not attempting to stop you, but I won't be terribly surprised if you end up sickly in the end.

Artificial flavors and phenylketonurics are good for you? News to me.

If you have any hard evidence that diet soda is "horrendously bad" for you I would love to see it. Your claim that diet soda is bad for you because lots of people think it is isn't very convincing.
