I drink a 2 liter of diet soda a day. Is that bad?

I drink Diet Rite which according to the label has no caffeine, no aspartame, and no sodium. What’s left in it that will kill me?

It is probably healthier though due to other nutrients (many people are vitamin D and calcium deficient), and certainly much better than what I drank as a child and teenager (2-3 cans of regular Mountain Dew a day, mostly at meals, for which I now have a glass of milk (about the same number of calories, but not empty ones), and water otherwise). Of course, I am talking about reduced fat (or skim) milk (it is also better than sports drinks for rehydration).

That one study was probably funded by the milk industry; the link does not say how many people were in the study; and general conclusions cannot be made after only one (and probably a small) study.
