Will you get cancer or a tumor from it, its possible if you do things wrong. By this I mean don't drink it excessivley and to much of it during a long strech of time. As a quick reference/story my friends grandma/aunt (memory fails at the moment) drank lots of diet soda (more so then you most likely). She was diagnosed with a tumor, but when she finally stopped drinking it, after being suggested that as the cause, the tumor did go down.

So like all food, its only bad when you eat to much of it in to large of quantities over a period of time.

Hope this helps you.

Most things like this in moderation are fine as long as you are not having any significant reactions to them. Some people do have negative health reactions that may be associated with the use of saccharin and aspartame products, like headaches and dizziness. If you are having any of these symptoms, you should definitely cut out diet drinks and foods and go to see your doctor.

There has been a great deal of research done by the medical community on the use of artificial sweeteners, but none proves directly any serious health risks or problems. This is not to say that it is completely safe because only time can tell this. Also, many people react differently to substances put in their bodies.

Caffeine dehydrates you which means if you don't drink tons of water then you body is in water storage mode where it thinks there's a drought and it stores extra water in your body since it doesn't know when it's going to get enough fresh water.

The sodium in it also helps you store more water in your body.

The caffiene restricts your blood vessels while upping your heart rate so if you appear to be a little high in blood pressure this can be the cause. Also this can be the cause of many headaches when you go too long without it. Getting off of caffiene takes a little time but your blood vessels will get better... your water (if you go to drinking just water, 2.5 liters at least per day) weight will drop... and overall you'll feel a lot better as well.
I would MAKE myself drink twice as much water as I did diet coke.
There are some other bad things that can happed over time as well.
If you are addicted, you should monitor with regular checkups.

Depends on what sugar substitute they use! There are studies now that say aspartame is dangerous to your health, and that splenda is the only safe sugar substitute! But, five years ago they said the same thing about aspartame! I asked my doctor about this subject! He told me that diet drinks do nothing to help you lose weight! The reason is, that when anything that tastes sweet goes in your mouth, your brain thinks that it's sugar, and your pancreas reacts accordingly! It produces the insulin that it takes to counteract...

Surprisingly, going back to natural sweeteners like sugar, honey and corn syrup did not make me gain even an ounce! My doc was right!

i think ma'am you should not take this "diet coke" because as age goes on the capacity of body to over come from the heal is weakened. you have been taking it from a long time. may be you didn't notice that weather it is causing harm or not.may be you can go to a good doctor and can inspect your query.

I've seen it dissolve set in black stains in a commode. It can't be good.....

Though any carbonated drink whther low or high with sugar are bad as they contain CO2 gas which we are supposed to release out of our body and not to take back in.

I would suggest you to intake fresh oxygen during breathing exercise and better get addicted to this.

I never drink any soda because of this reason.

Well some studies suggest diet drinks cause the brain to swell due to some chemicals used for these drinks so it's not just coke it's any diet drink! besides who would drink DIET! drinks!!!!

It is better than full fat coke but is still not good for you.
