Turn your brain on. They started drinking diet soda because they were already chubby.

Chubby or over 50. This is a boomer favorite.

I drink diet soda and I'm not chubby. I simply prefer it. The sugar in regular soda makes me feel sick.

Of course, how silly! Far better to get cancer

Eh. I’m going to die of something. Cancer, Covid, diabetes, heart problems. I can use sunscreen and die of cancer from those chemicals or I can expose myself to the sun and get skin cancer.

Can’t avoid everything, so people need to choose what works for them.

Just don't drink gallons of it. Do you expect to be perfect? That's not happening. Drink the soda.

This!

I am like the other PP who lost weight with a combo of pseudo-IF, coffee/diet soda. Is the diet soda health food? No, but the extra 35 pounds I was carrying wasn’t healthy either.

Now that I’ve lost the weight, I try to do sparkling water instead, but I do rely on the diet soda also.

To answer your question, yes diet soda is far worse and coffee or wine because of the chemicals in it. It also perpetuates the sugar addiction by introducing aspartame to the body. So if you are having a hard time kicking sugar OP diet soda will make your cravings worse.

I lost 65 lbs in the past 13 months -- a large part of my success was due to diet soda and black coffee (which I used to quell hunger quite a bit). Obviously not good for me, but neither was the sugar, alcohol, and processed foods that I have almost entirely eliminated.
