This has been tossed about for so so long. First the types of artificial sweeteners that gave lab rats cancer then all the caffeine issues and various new sweeteners. As with many things, amount consumed makes a difference. In the beginning the diet sodas were seen as a miracle - have your fix w/o calories. Then the studies came out that the sweetness still makes you crave sugar generally. Oops. I know 2 longtime recovering alcoholics (like you are dying dude) who would not have made it without the diet sodas. One was12 Diet Pepsis a day, the other a liter of it after work through the evening. Most talented carpenter I've ever worked with = gave lessons to Morphosis. First is off it now - switched to unsweetened tea. Like booze and cigarettes it is that oral fixation. What is that phrase "pick your poison"? Out and about on the hottest of days with limited options I'll have one with crushed ice every couple years. Caffeine does nothing for me. Every body is different.
