well, here it is...

i love my diet cola (be it pepsi or coke, either one). i may not be addicted to it, but i sure do drink a lot of it. consistently, probably the equivalent of 3 cans a day. i've stopped for a couple weeks before to see if i could and it wasn't much of a problem. still i'm worried, are there any health implications to drinking that much diet?

it's so easy because you look on the side of the can and it says there aren't any calories, sugar, or carbs. i guess all that acidity could degrade my teeth over the long haul, and perhaps i could develop a kidney stone... but i do drink a lot of water as well.

anyway, i'm looking for someone to give me a good reason not to drink all this diet coke. i'm concerned that it will have adverse effects on me (drinking that much carbonated beverage is hardly natural), but i know won't slow it down till i learn of a good health-conscious reason.
