Is diet soda bad for you?

[JolietJake]

I've been drinking a lot of diet sodas lately but since earlier this week have cut back dramatically, haven't had one in two days. Today I've had the worst headache I've had in a long time, don't know if it's related to the lack of soda or not.

No idea but I drink too much Diet Pepsi. Drink in moderation.

I've cut back on soda immensely. Been drinking more water and unsweet tea (iced tea with no sugar) instead. I still get my caffeine fix either way.

That'll happen when you cut back on caffeine sharply.

Practically all sodas are bad for you. If your concern is optimal health, drink water.

diet soda usually makes me constipated.
