Wii, I got that one this week too. And another friend posted it on FB as well.
The son of a former friend of mine works is a chemist for the FDA, and he forwarded me information on this long ago. I occasionally have a diet soda, but mostly choose water. I do have some flavored seltzer water at home for those times when I want a fizz.
She's worried about you.
Besides, most of what they discussed is true. Mike had numerous studies where there were similarities with MS. My question to him was, "Then why the heck doesn't the FDA pull this crap from the shelves?" He didn't know. But I do. Coke and Pepsi have pretty huge lobbies in Washington...
But since you climbed on the wagon, I'd say you're better off with Pepsi Max than vodka. It's a less destructive vice to yourself and society.
Have a good weekend!

p.s. The studies' conclusions recommended going for clear sodas without sugar. Don't know if you could stomach that.
p.p.s. You might also be interested in liquid antibacterial soap... not for drinking, though. That's just plain yucky.
