this is true, it isn't healthy for you and didn't they do a study a few years back that showed that lab rats got cancer from diet soda or atleast from ingesting nutrasweet which is what is used in replace of sugar in diet soda's?

Is this too confusing for you?
Not confusing, just doesn't make fucking sense.

diet soda has been around for over 20 years, I don't think you can consider that a fad anymore.

personally I prefer the taste of diet coke caffine free over regular coke, but in general I drink more water than I do soda.
