That said, Coke Zero and Diet Coke are terrible. That aspartame will kill you.
There was an extensive scientific study that showed that aspartame was fine for you in any reasonable quantities.
But hey, it's not addictive like the far more obviously unhealthy corn syrup is, so by all means believe the propaganda about it that certain elements of the food industry would so like to have you believe!
Anyway, Coke Zero tastes enough like regular Coke for me that I was able to make the switch, and don't regret it: the level of sugar in carbonated drinks is total bull****. I don't like Diet Coke though. So I guess I agree with the original post.
EDIT: Regarding aspartame, read this and get informed.
