So this facebook link

What do people think of this.  I am always very skeptical about anything that gets sent around on facebook but was wondering what others thought.

Personally I do drink some diet coke when not pregnant. 1 maybe two a day if that but I just feel like to get this severe of reaction you would need to be drinking soooo much that it falls kind of under the " anything will make you sick, give you cancer if you have enough of it."  I would love to hear opinions from all and especially anyone with a greater scientific/biology background than who actually understand the how chemicals breakdown in the body.

    Sorry that last sentence is weird.... I would edit but it doesn't look like it will let me.

    I don't know the science behind it, but I avoid all artificial sweeteners.  They make me feel weird, especially my tongue.  Would love to hear if any of our science ladies have more insight.

    I am a total hypocrite in that I don't let my kids near it but I still drink diet soda.  They are starting to call me on it though.  Damn 7 yr olds!

    I hate diet soda.  I hate the taste and any artificial sweeteners seem to make me more thirsty and either give me a headache or a stomachache.  I do drink too much regular soda, though.

    I don't think it's great for you and I'm not a soda person, but like you said, everything in moderation. If that's really what was making her so deathly ill, I imagine she would have had to have been drinking at least a six-pack a day.

    I feel like having diet soda in moderation is fine. I personally don't drink it or use artificial sweeteners...I feel like if you want something sweet you should probably just use the real stuff, not something made in a lab/factory somewhere. Real sugar is where it's at (again in moderation).
