"The Risks of Daily Diet Coke Consumption and Artificial Sweeteners on Gut Health and Diabetes Risk"
TL;DR
Drinking a Diet Coke every day isn't the healthiest choice, but for those with a sweet tooth trying to limit sugar intake, it can be a satisfying alternative. The artificial sweetener aspartame in Diet Coke has sparked health concerns, with organizations like the IARC classifying it as "possibly carcinogenic to humans." Other ingredients like phosphoric acid and caffeine also raise potential health issues. While moderate consumption may not have detrimental effects for generally healthy individuals, exploring alternatives like seltzer is recommended.
