    It's really WEIRD, but I have noticed, also, that far more DIET Coke drinkers absolutely have to have their D.C.'s several times a day MORE than regular Coke drinkers ever did! I think there IS something to it!
    The only problem that I KNOW of, is the one that claims that excess aspartame or nutrasweet, could cause problems, like headaches, etc..

    I drink diet coke like water as well. I hear all the horror stories about how bad it is. I try to limit it to only a twelve pack a day.

    I have talked to many doctors about drinking so much. They say try to drink more water, which I do however, they say it will not hurt you. My dentist also said it will not hurt my teeth.

    I drink as much as I want to. We all have our vices. I stopped drinking beer and started drinking diet coke, instead. I would just enjoy it and not worry, if I were you.

    You're have an insatiable appetite for nasty tasting crap, but other than that and your taste buds falling out at age 74 I can't think of to much harm. Save those taste buds. When you have 1000 you can redeem them for a package of flower seeds or some other fabulous, wonderful gifts!

    from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_Coke#Debate_over_health_issues

    The most commonly distributed version of Diet Coke (and majority of beverages using artificial sweeteners) relies on Aspartame, which has been blamed by some scientists and medical professionals for possibly causing serious illnesses (such as cancer, brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma) when consumed in large quantities[2][3]. One of the chemicals produced by aspartame after ingestion is methanol.[4][5] It should be noted that Coca-Cola has now released Diet Coke sweetened with sucralose (also known as Splenda), although it is not as common. See also soft drink controversy.

    An article published in The Independent on 27 May 2007 highlights the dangers of sodium benzoate in soft drinks. According to the article, the sodium benzoate combines with the ascorbic acid (vitamin C, E300) in the drink to form benzene, a carcinogen. (See main article: Benzene in soft drinks for more.) Concerning the combination of sodium benzoate and citric acid, The Coca-Cola Company has reformulated its products so that the risk of forming carcinogens inside of soft drinks is eliminated.[citation needed]

    Also, the sodium benzoate was found to break down mitochondrial DNA in living yeast cells.[6]

    Anything is bad for you in excess. Diet Coke is probably higher on the list than say milk but all in all, all things in moderation.
