''I never drink diet pop and I just started drinking sugared pop recently, maybe once or twice a week, and almost always when I get Fast Food which happens maybe once a month.
The artificial sweetener alarms started a long time a go (early 1970's) starting with saccharine. Then it was later determined that saccharine wasn't all that bad for you and it is still being used. Now there are several artificial sweeteners. I know a couple of people who still drink diet pop, but that's about it.
Cola is a must when eating popcorn. Other than that I prefer whole milk with my food.
I'm also drinking a lot of water. I was in rehab for 2-3 weeks for a hip fracture and started enjoying water more. I used to drink a lot beer but only 1 or 2 a week now, and I feel much better for it.

I use Stevia in my coffee every day. My wife prefers saccharin because that is what she grew up with in England.

I’ve messed up titles of threads before, but this is a classic!
Kudos for waking up.
Keeping with a pledge I made long ago to no longer discuss health issues here until I publish my book, I will only write,
“You’re still willingly in the minefield; keep eyes open.”
I always thought carmelized beverages were tough on the liver.
When you are a few months from 80 it is a safe bet something is gonna get you in the near future. I’m ready, safe and secure, heaven bound. I use Splenda every day. Have for many years.
President Trump needs to stop drinking diet Coke for two reasons now.
I grew up with a diabetic mom, and am now Type 2 myself. I have been drinking diet soda since it first came out sweetened with aspartame (never could abide saccharine). Never had a problem with it. I now prefer Splenda to aspartame but not many sodas use it. I tried the stevia sweetened ones and all I taste is metal.
