Risks of diet coke and aspartimine

[Chippychop]

I drink far too much of it. As Does Dh. Dc aren't allowed it and don't want it. We've told them its nasty stuff and they avoid it. Trouble is I know it's not great for you but I don't really know why. Can you educate me? I do appreciate I drink fat to much of it -in my defencei don't drink hot drinks generally or milk

I think the problem with drinking diet soft drinks is that they still taste sweet so they maintain your sweet tooth. Since I stopped drinking soft drinks altogether I don't eat other sugary things because they taste too sickly now.

Interesting point mewling... Never thought about it as clearly as that. Trying to drink fizzy water (with lime) today
