The main problem with diet drinks imo is the sodium salt. Remove that and you might have something better. Rooting for Hewitt and Garfield.

When my doctor told me to severly limit sodium as well as potassium I developed a taste for Oolong iced tea.

“The main problem with diet drinks imo is the sodium salt”
Yeah, that and the aspartame, which can cause all sorts of problems. Then there’s the phosphoric acid, which is bad for bone health.
Yeah, other than that I guess the water and the food coloring and flavoring is not so bad.

What an asinine article. There is scientific research connecting consumption of sugars to high blood cholesterol, a precursor to coronary artery disease.
Here is one: Fructose-Sweetened Beverages Linked to Heart Risks.
However, the idea artificially sweetened foods cause obesity or heart disease is primarily anecdotal and based on correlation, not causation--"I see a fat person drinking a Diet Coke, so the Diet Coke must have made them fat." It is about as scientific as the belief maggots come from rotting meat.
That said, one needs to reduce their consumption of both naturally and artificially sweetened products to decrease one's "sweet tooth". This is why low sugar diets, like The South Beach Diet, limit consumption of artificially sweetened foods during the first phase.

Nope, I’m showing my age. For some reason, I actually remember a commercial she made where she’s playing tennis with her husband and their little boy cries out, “Mommy beat Daddy!”

Take a look at the Pepsi logo - revised ca 2008 - it is subliminal advertisement for “The One” - I’ll never drink Pepsi again.
