What, if at all, are the known / researched health consequence of
daily drinking of diet coke at a rate of 2-4 cans per day.

I would appreciate a quick summary plus reference to actual research
and backup material.

Thanks

Hello gym~

Aspartame (the Nutrasweet in Diet Coke) has been linked to a myriad of
health problems, including depression, joint pain, headaches,
dizziness, fibromyalgia, and much more. This Researcher has personally
experienced serious health problems, which were linked to aspartame.
Here's some brief information on the topic.

Hi Gym, 

I used to do that, and didn't experience any problems - at
least, none that I noticed.

However, diet drinks, like Diet Coke have several different forms
of sodium - leads to high blood pressure. My doctor noticed that.

I've had friends using birth control pills who were told to get
off diet drinks altogether for that reason. 

Oh yes, and, as with all diet drinks - they wreak havoc on teeth.
