No...but you might get cancer since Aspartame, the artificial sweeter in it to make it diet has been known to cause it.

If your going to drink it, just drink the regular kind.

Answer 4

Actually.......according to recent studies....you'll probably get fat!

Answer 5

Research indicates that aspartame does not cause cancer. The animal study which proposed this statement involved rats and doses of aspartame higher than any amount humans would consume. That website which you were refered says that current evidence does not link aspartame with cancer.

Once thing to consider though is the impact of caffeine on your bone density. Caffeine can reduce the calcium in your bone density by causing its loss in the urine. Also, lots of coke and pepsi might be replacing milk and milk drinks? If you have low bone density in your youth it can increase your risk of oesteoporosis later in life.

Try and swap the diet pepsi & coke for water and milk.
