Quoted from:
http://www.rodalenews.com/facts-about-soda?page=2
It's not surprising that drinking all the sugar in sodas would cause weight gain, but what is surprising is that even diet soda will pack on the pounds: Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center monitored 475 adults for 10 years, and found that those who drank diet soda had a 70 percent increase in waist circumference over the 10-year study, compared with those who didn't drink any soda. Those who drank more than two diet sodas per day saw a 500 percent waist expansion! A separate study the same researchers conducted on mice suggested that it was the aspartame, which raised blood glucose levels, that caused the weight gain; when your liver encounters too much glucose, the excess is converted to body fat.

For me personally - since cutting back on the diet soda I am now eating less and not as hungry. I think for me though I always had the habit of having a snack with the soda so it would just start a cycle that never ended lol. I haven't compleatly cut it out but drink a lot less.0

There is a good solution to the bloating from carbonation: a good burp.

Have NEVER heard of anyone succumbing to death due to consumption of soda whether diet or regular. Soda is neither good nor bad. Where it becomes a problem for ANYONE is if the amount they drink far exceeds 3 cans a day.all of these replies are great the differences between them are difficult to judge which is better lol. some say soda will kill you some say they dont matter if they are . tough decision but can come to the best decision with these thanks peeps.

Once I finally stopped listening to all the fear mongerers about soda (regular and diet), I learned that the most "dangerous" ingredient in soda is water. You'd have to drink so much of it that before any of the other ingredients reach a level of toxicity, you would die from an overconsumption of water first. Everything in moderation!
Diet soda helps satisfy my sweet tooth when I'm out of calories for the day. The bubbles fill me up, too, so double bonus! It also helps me at lunchtime, too, when I'm trying to save my calories for later in the day. I just have to watch it on the caffeine. If I have it too many days in a row, I'll get withdrawal headaches when I stop. And if I have it too close to bed time, I'll be up longer than I want.
If I can squeeze a regular soda in every now and then, that's cool, too. Pop is delicious! Dr. Pepper is a favorite of mine, regular, Ten, or diet.

You better get the ADA to change their recommendation of diet soda as an option then if it's raising glucose levels.Quoted from:

Just noting the correlation isn't causation. The trend of global warming has increased the pirate population. Truth.

Opinions can be rated on merit. What is the quality of the evidence? I say there are no bad foods or drinks. Enjoy it all, following the Platonic model of moderation. I drink diet because I don't like wasting my calorie budget on drinks. I also enjoy a wide variety of teas.
If we truly were surrounded by dangerous foods, a lot more people would be dying. Rather I believe many are developing increasing fastidiousness because they do hope to live forever.
Life is no longer brutish or short.
At least one SF writer anticipated our increasingly narcisstic, fastidious, germophobe generation; Asimov. http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2013/11/the_caves_of_steel_the_naked_sun_isaac_asimov_s_portrayal_of_radical_life.html0 -

Actually I paraphrased a quote from the actress Joan Collins. She once said that the reason she didn't drink diet soda was "because you never see skinny people drinking it".
