Really?
Diet coke is just fizzy water, sweetener and flavouring. Nothing particularly bad in that. Not as bad as the 2 litres of regular coke I drink a day :s

it's the aspartame in the sweetener that is the bad boy

it is on the internet. it must be true.

You can poisen yourself with anything if you have too much of it
But diabetics have to have sweetener all the time. The only thing it really does is maybe make your poo a bit softer/runnier. My brother's diabetic and has been drinking sugar free drinks by the bucket load for the past 11 years and he's fine

If you look up oxygen poisoning on the internet, you'll find that's a problem, too.
Please give up oxygen, ta.

Also, mind out for that di-hydrogen monoxide.

Here's a site that isn't wikipedia, or American
www.food.gov.uk/safereating/chemsafe/additivesbranch/sweeteners/55174

That should hopefully be a bit more helpful.
