    I hear about things causing cancer all the time. They are referring to the aspartame. Normally the only way they prove it is giving a ton of it to rats, so it's hard to say.
    I am trying to quit drinking it for other reasons.
    People often think no calories means its great for weight loss, but that's not true. My dad has always been big, and has always drank diet. He changed nothing to his diet, except he quit drinking diet coke and he immediately dropped ten pounds. The aspartame also caused my dad a lot of PVCs. It can be scary stuff, but it's hard to know if it really does cause cancer.

    I am pretty sure there is some report out there that says air causes cancer. I'm a firm believer in moderation (current convert, I guess :ohwell: ). I make sure I get my daily water goal (with only water) and if I do, If I want a diet coke, I'm going to drink a diet coke. That's my opinion, any way.

    My first question would be; do you live in California? Everything causes cancer in California. Other than that everything now days is related to cancer in some way or another. All the artificial stuff we put into our bodies is terrible for us.

    As a very avid Diet Coke drinker, I have been lectured many times on it's aspartame dangers. When I was in college, I had a professor that if I walked into his office with a Diet Coke, we'd spend the next hour looking up the horrible things about it. I know I need to stop drinking the stuff, but I feel like I'd need a support group or something. It'd definitely have to be one of those "Hi, my name is Hill, and I'm a Diet Coke addict."

    There's a Snopes page that talks about this being untrue:

    I think it is nonsense. Everyone is going to die at some stage, whether it be from a zombie apocolypse or a comet hitting the earth. Stay away from cocaine and cigarettes is my motto :)

    if Diet Coke causes cancer due to the Aspartame content, then my Yoplait Light black forest cake yogurt does too.
