I wouldn't worry about the sweeteners, it's the acid that will get you. There is a huge amount of acid in soft drinks and especially diet drinks. In fact there is so much, makers spray a thin coating inside the can to protect it from the drink.otherwise it will eat the metal. The drinks will eat the enamel on your teeth and the lining of your stomach.
It's your life, live it the way you want.
"Saccharin is a noncaloric petroleum derivative estimated to be three
hundred to five hundred times sweeter than sugarS It's used in diet soft
drinksS Studies done in the 1970s linked saccharin ingestion to bladder
cancer in laboratory animals"
"Children who drink large quantities of diet sodas containing aspartame are
particularly vulnerable to its dangerous side effects."
"Aspartame contains methyl or wood alcohol, which can affect fetal brain
development."
"Diet sodas that are low in calories are high in sodium. Too much salt in
the diet may cause more calcium to be excreted in the urine and increase the
risk of osteoporosis."

Artificial sweeteners are poison. I have an allergy to aspartame, but I don't think that I do anymore that everybody else does. It's bad for you, I have depression and have a tendency for seizures, and diet cola makes them both worse. It's too bad-I love the stuff, but I like my health more than what a diet cola would give me (Nothing - one calorie so no energy. eat away at my perfect teeth, and frazzle my nerves with caffiene). Like I said, a legal drug and poison.
For one all the chemicals on fake sugar causes headaches,tiredness, stomach problems. When I drank diet colas I felt like crap all the time. I found out that now I drink more water. My body thanks me buy giving me soft skin, hair. I have more energy to play with my 20 month old grandson. Diet colas have many hidden health problems. Besides read the labels in the packages and what do they say?
so far there isnt any negative research on aspartame, the only concern was with the chemicals used to derive the substance, supposedly chlorine is used to refine the process. but we might get some long term studys on this topic very soon. If anything you want to be concerned with the Phosphoric acid or potassium benzoate. The theory is sodium and potassium benzoate may form benzene, a known carcinogen. The other problem is when aspartame is heated to its boiling point, it turns into formaldehyde, which is an embalming fluid and can kill you. Currently, the FCC is doing testing to find out if this occuring. I would say the answer depends on how much you consume. However, very young kids or very old adults are the most susceptible to being injured or dying by drinking these beverages.
