      And diet Sprite as well. I’m guessing it’s used in a lot of diet drinks.

      A cursory search suggests it’s fine for most people, but take it with a grain of salt (or maybe real sugar).

      Correlation is not causation. The people who pound diet sodas are more likely to live an unhealthy lifestyle compared to those who don’t.
