    You need to consume the equivalent of 125+ cans of Diet soda per day to see an even slightly elevated risk of cancer or any other serious disease

    The report says that 14 cans for a person who is normal weight, but that’s still 5L of diet pop!

    Heartburn and stomach upset would probably prevent anyone from consuming that much of this stuff.

      I used to have quite the diet coke habit. I would regularly drink 6 cans before noon to wake up, and on weekends when I didn’t need to get to sleep, I probably did often hit 14 cans or more. But I think I even topped out around that 14 can amount because you start getting caffeine side effects and twitching…
