They really don’t know what to say because they know the sweeteners being used are not healthy and that’s beyond doubt.

I went into a chain which had Mexican Diet Coke in their fountain.

So that wasn’t even sugar but they were using a different artificial sweetener the details of which I don’t remember. The Mexican Diet Coke was way better than our Diet Cokes.

Just speculation, maybe the Mexican Diet Coke used cyclamates, which were banned in the US in the early 70's due to some rat study. Diet drinks then went to saccharine, which tastes horrible, then I think aspartame came along in the early 80's, which tastes horrible, but not as bad as saccharine.
