... I need the full lowdown on the positives and negatives of diet coke! I've been drinking it waaaaaaay too much lately so if I'm gonna develop cancer I'd like to know now so I can prepare a will!

Seriously, I've read different things about Diet coke - some say that it's harmless and basically water, others say that it's full of nasty carcinagenic chemicals! :eek:

Its seriously acidic so not good for the old stomach lining and teeth and its a fizzy drink so you shouldnt drink too much as you put yourself at risk of bone thinning.

Should also say that we used to use coke as a cleaning product for the back of the pumps in the pub I worked at as nothing else was as effective.

OJ is full of sugar and is quite acidic but better than diet coke. It would be better to cut down on both.
