Nah ....diet soda doesn’t damage the cells according to the report....sugar soda only allegedly ....but isn’t most regular soda sweetened with corn syrup these days ?
I never drank anything other than seltzer and water.
Who knows?
the vast majority of the current array of soft drinks are indeed sweetened with fructose corn “sugar” ..
by the way ...my cells are older than I am
HFCS has been much cheaper than sugar for decades, thanks to legislative protection of the US sugar industry.
Cane sugar is finally being added back to products, like soft drinks, usually as a marketing ploy.

A year or two ago, the Nat'l Federation of Corn Sugar Manufacturers (or whatever it's called) voted to officially change the name of their product from "corn syrup" to "corn sugar."
