What’s so bad about diet soda?

I’m not trying to defend it or anything, but what’s the harm in it? Looking at the nutrition facts, there’s zero of everything, except 55mg of sodium per can of diet coke and there’s aspartame.

So that leads the question: What does sodium do to the body? I asked my personal gym trainer and she told me it just makes you feel bloated, so you feel the need to drink more water. But I heard from other people that it becomes harder to lose weight.

Also, what does aspartame do to the body as well? I heard it causes brain cancer. Is there any truth to that? I don’t hear many reports of that in the news, but people constantly bring it up.

Is the general consensus with artificial sugars like Splenda are harmful?

I’m now scared to drink any sodas, especially diet. I mean I go to the gym every other day for like 2 hours, and drink on average like 3 cans of diet soda a week, while everything else is water mixed with a little diet snapple.

Besides causing brain cancer the worst thing about diet pop is that it tastes awful. Isn’t the point of pop to have something that tastes good that you can drink?
