"They" refers to the diet sodas that you claim have "never done you any harm".

Well in that case, "they" are inanimate objects and therefore incapable of making me believe anything.

Diet drinks are just as bad as regular drinks. I don't even drink 2 or 3 a year. And beer? I don't even dring 2 or 3 a month.



Meh, like i said i've been drinking diet drinks since i was a kid (except for the brief couple of years when i lived with my ex and he banned diet drinks from the house, so stupidly i drank full-fat) and they've never done me any harm. Im not worried.



No calories is better than 150 calories but there is some evidence that aspartame causes a similar hormone release profile as sucrose. It can be argued that the release of those hormones negatively impacts how you metabolize the other calories in your diet...

I havent touched aspartame in over 6 months now, i dont even chew gum any more because it has it in it. Sodastream syryps have sucralose instead of aspartame.

Except perhaps for reduction of enamel on your teeth and contributions to decalicification of your bones, as well as metabolic changes based on consumed sugar calories. No observable direct harm perhaps, but lots of long-term metabolic harm.

Pop, soda, coke is all really bad for you.
