Just be sure it is doing what you intend. From what my doctor told me the fact that it has few calories doesn't matter so much; because of how your body then reacts to sugar when you do get it. He essentially said that he believes based on the studies he has read that drinking diet pop does no more for you than drinking regular pop.

I then asked him if I was better off drinking a 1/2 can of regular pop over a full can of diet, and he told me yes. So now I use the small cans and make sure I also have water on hand to quench the thirst.

In previous threads I had mentioned that I couldn't stand the taste of water; so now I add a couple of drops of lemon juice to give it some flavour.
