    It is not.

    "alarmism, pure and simple. They are not intended to create a rational and logical discussion. They are intended for the sole purpose of being shocking and creating a visceral response, an intense emotional disgust that shuts down the rational part of your brain. You’re then more receptive to poorly cherry-picked science, which seems just accurate enough that it must be true."

    Been drinking it for about 40 years. Same deal with artificial sweeteners. Not gonna lose any sleep over it though.
    Bad?? Not for me. I still drink it, and any other diet soda. I don't find it sending me looking for sugary foods & don't feel its inhibiting my loss either.

    well to be fair you wouldnt know for some time if it was bad. or you could be lucky and never suffer the effects like a 100 year old smoker.

    Doesn't Diet Coke have more sugars, which in time turn into fat?

    Also, I think the explanation 'Diet Coke is Worse' is more for those who replace their heavy soda drinking habits from regular Coke to Diet Coke. So, they think they're doing better because they've switched, but they're still drinking ungodly amounts of it. Which is bad.
