Just saw my doctor yesterday after blood work and with diabetes especially she said never ever drink diet soda again. First most sodas have a lot of salt which is no good for your heart or blood pressure secondly even the fake sugar supposedly is bad for you. She suggested if I need something carbonated to just get the flavored Seltzer Waters with 5 calories only such as the Mandarin of the strawberries which have a lot less chemicals in them but still have some salt but are much better for you. I'm drinking a lot of water and not even as much unsweet iced tea as before because of the caffeine levels not being good for your heart or blood pressure.
But I still remember 30 years ago when they started complaining that barbecued foods cause cancer and I adamantly refuse to stop eating stuff off the grill.
