Just pay attention to all the artificial sweeteners you're putting into your gut/body with diet pop, mio, crystal lite etc. Not known to do fantastic things in the short or long run
I would love to see your evidence for this statement
The main AS in diet drinks is aspartame, which has been studied over and over again and seen to be completely safe for human consumption unless you go crazy with the drinks - I'm talking 12 cans/6 bottles per day for a long term period. Since no one (who isn't a complete idiot) does this, you have nothing to worry about.
Also, aspartame has been deemed safe for human consumption by most of the regulatory bodies across the world - so unless you think the whole world is completely stupid, diet drinks are perfectly safe
