Guess that means bye-bye Diet Dr. Pepper.

Oh GOD, my last vice.

I don't drink or smoke, so I guess I'll have to start picking up hookers.

I love Coke, Dr. Pepper, and Mountain Dew but I stay away from it.

I've heard this before, but anything in moderation (other than sex) is a good thing!

Weight gain from soda or diet soda is the very least of your concerns.

lol, that article is so sensationalist it's ridiculous.

You can find a study in lab rats to support almost any claim you want to make.
The correlation between drinking diet soda and weight gain is murky at best.
Hmm, maybe people who drink any soda (even diet) are more likely to have a bad diet/lifestyle... :

It's usually a good idea not to take any "evidence" printed in a newspaper too seriously.

As far as it being bad for your teeth, anything acidic is, so use a straw...
