I heard that diet soda is bad for you. But just starting yesterday my mom had bought diet soda (gross) and she is saying it is good for you because it has less sugar. Is this true?

It's soda, despite the sugar count, there's other stuff in it that's bad for you, like the dyes, the high fructose corn syrup, etc.
 
The sweetener used for diet soda is called Aspartame, and some research has linked it to brain tumors and lymphoma in test animals. Studies have also shown that it doesn't help lose weight at all. You might as well stick to drinking regular soda. They're both "bad" for you anyway.

Diet pop tastes better imo. At least Coke does, diet pepsi tastes like splenda water. :X
 
Who cares really for some reason I like coke and diet coke all the same but no matter what most drinks you drink (Pop juice) is gonna have something bad in it... except water...
 
I don't know why people enjoy drinking so much soda anyways, it doesn't taste that great imo :/

Then you have tried the best one of them all:

Dr. Pepper.

It. Is. Soda. God.

Don't let the nonbelievers tell you otherwise. :U
