Time magazine has asked 5 experts if they think people should be drinking diet soda. And the results were thumbs down across the board. Along with sharing each expert’s opinion, the article adds “A recent study in Nature shows that zero-calorie artificial sweeteners might mess with gut bacteria in a way that predisposes mice to insulin resistance and glucose intolerance.”

Giving up that (and soda all together) and replacing it with water was one of the ways that I took off over 250 pounds of excess weight and one of the contributors to my keeping the excess weight off for well over a decade.
