Several people have already answered this question with the right answers:

1. High Fructose Corn Syrup is the Devil for sure. Go Google it and learn why.

2. In Diet drinks, Asparatame have been shown to produce negative effects in many animals, including residual deposits in the brain itself that produced alzheimer-like symptoms in rats far younger than should ordinarily be the case.

3. To replace Asparatame, Pepsi's people ram-rodded the chemical Sucralose (Splenda) through FDA approval in record time using heavy amounts of paid lobbying and donations to the right key figures. No one really knows what the effects of Splenda are on the brain, because no significant long-term clinical testing has been performed in large numbers.

Moderation is always key for sure, none of you should be drinking more than one regular or diet 12oz. drink a day.
