Diet Coke is soooooooooooo BAD for you , people start to drink so much they become addicted! It is even worse now cause of all the splenda put into it! Diet coke causes cancer for some people and breaks down the way your body organs work! Liver would be affected, for example!!!!! DON'T DRINK ANY DIET DRINKS for that matter!!!!!

that's ironic, they promote heart health all the while pumping people full of aspartame which is essentially poison....hmmmmmm

I love the fact that there is an awareness can but just get sick of the fact that they seem to promote heart health only to women, guys suffer from it too. Double standards crack me up.

Bravo to Coke for doing a great public service. Even so, I'll stick with the diet, caffeine free Pepsi.

I'd like to respond to the few comments above. I'm an advocate against aspartame and all excitotoxins. That cute little can of diet Coke is just as deadly as Meth, Cocaine, Heroin or any other Class I or II drugs. Maybe not one can, I do admit, but because of the addictive qualities;(sorta like cigarettes a few years back. Every one pretty much realized the danger and to smoke or not to smoke was their choice), it usually never ends with one can. I know people who are consuming cases a week and a personal friend 4+ liters a day. I don't know how they function. Our bodies are not designed to drink this poison or able to break down the deadly chemicals it turns into. As far as it being safe. Ha! And Santa and the Tooth Fairy are real too. Seriously. Searle and Monsanto has from the start done it's own, albeit diluted, manufactured and doctored results. They did allow independent studies, but conveniently found a way to file 13 them. Interesting. Most of us against aspartame are not against soda in general. We've done lots of research for and against aspartame and formed our own conclusions, not just read one statement put out by Searle and deemed it okay. What kind of Dumbed-Down society are we turning into if we take "their" word for it. Hello, they are in it for money, not the consumers health. I am super passionate about this because a cousin almost died from aspartame poisoning and people close to me are addicted with no good end in sight. I also have been a victim, still in recovery after 15 years. I repeat and plead with everyone, to please think, think, think before you put that or anything containing aspartame to your lips. May God's great wisdom help us all before it's forever too late. Praying for everyone. Blessings
