My son wants to drink diet soda daily

[David64]

Hi all.

So my son(14) , says that a dail diet soda is perfectlly fine to drink , that there's no long-term health consequences.
I'm not sure I agree. I've tried to keep his soda consumption to a minimum (except when it's Ollipop) .

So is it okay to drink a can of diet soda a day?
Are there any trustworthy sources that say it's fine etc?

Thanks!

I think some people over react to this kind of thing. If they are worried about harmful chemicals, they should just stop eating food because according to California, everything we eat is poison in some way. Ollipop has 2 -5 grams of sugar. Diet soda has none and according to this study, he'd have to drink 21 cans per day to get enough Aspartame to hurt him.
