Aspartame in particular is horrid stuff.

So, the magic number is to drink THREE glasses a day to reduce this risk?

Drink a shot of liquor instead. It would keep your veins in shape to live a long life. One shot only of course.

Complete BS. Diet drinks are 99.9% water
Everything has become politicized.

Strictly a water drinker here. Well, maybe two cups of coffee a week.
Regular soda drinks have way too much sugar. Diet drinks, well... read the article.

“While we cannot show causation.......”
BINGO, this study is bunk. Maybe fatter people who are already prone to heart diseases & stroke & diabetes are more likely to drink Diet Soda.
After all their victories against smoking, the health Nazis need a new target to stay employed. Until recently cigarettes didn’t have a safer diet equivalent. So they have to invent bad stuff about diet soda.

I know my body lets me know I put garbage into it anytime I drink a ‘soft’ drink.
Mexican Coca Cola seems to be the only exception (I think they use cane sugar) but that stuff is really high in calories....
What the heck is wrong with just good old WATER?!?!

Aspartame is the Nectar of the Gods. Yummmmmm!

I only occasionally have diet sodas. My husband has lately been drinking coke. I had some kind of virus & after I woke up from that virus induced zombie sleep I was soooo thirsty. I poured a small cup of coke & it was the most amazingly refreshing thing in the world!

I have not drank sweet drinks of any kind for 40 years.
Water or beer — that is it!

no diet drinks.
But don’t drink fruit juices and blends-—high carbohydrates and sugars.
Of course no beer, wine or alcoholic drinks and hard cider or fruit style alcohol blends.
Stay off of too much milk. Fat and hormones and other drawbacks. A little soy or almond drink maybe. A little.
And finally watch the water-—too much causes “intoxication” as system is overwhelmed by the water.
Sounds like we are doomed again.

It has no taste. I have well water. It is clean and pure, but it does not inspire me to drink it in large quantities without something added to it like coffee or, yes, artificial stuff like Propel mix.
On the other hand, if your water comes from your city or town, chances are the water does have a taste. A gross one.

I gave up drinking all pop about six years ago.
Best decision I ever made.
