Edit: Hope that didn't come off too preachy! I just don't think diet beverages are good for anybody.
I do not drink soda from a company, I use a Soda Stream to make my homemade ginger ale with Stevia. Even that is not consumed on a regular basis, only after a hot day of yard work.
Did you know that Splenda was created in a lab as an insecticide--YUMMM! Totally agree diet stuff is not good.
