Every soda is poison tho.
I try to drink more pure, filtered water now and have cut back on the diet soda.
BUT, in the scheme of health risks, diet soda is quite low. For example:
I was drinking a diet coke, at the gym juice bar after the workout.
A national Hvy wt competitor gym bro , told me ; " Damn , I'd never put that poison in my body."
I quietly chuckled and replied ; " You're a walking pharmacy , but you're deeply concerned on the health risks of diet soda ?"
Undaunted, he then replied ; " Yeah, but those drugs BUILD up my body, diet soda will tear it down."
I shook my head , chuckled quietly again and simply replied ; " I can't argue with that logic, but, I'll take my chances." I resumed sipping my drink and he walked away feeling like he'd made his point.
