I agree soda dependence isn't a good thing, but there's not much evidence diet soda is any less healthy than tea.

Diet soda contains sweeteners that are suspected to cause cancer. Granted, you'd have to drink a couple of liters of diet soda a day before you need to be seriously concerned, but tea has one big advantage: It contains as much sugar or sweeteners as you add to it, so there's that.

suspected to cause cancer

Except there's been a ton of reasearch on it and the best/worst they can come up with is "results are inconclusive".

I am not discussing if soda of any kind is more unhealthy than tea or not. You can drink as much soda as you want. Just don't bullshit yourself or anybody else. You only have one argument: "I like soda, don't take away my soda from me." It is not a good argument but it is all you've got.

Wait a minute are you telling me that their isn't a sugar fairy dumping copious amounts of sugar into my tea when I turn around?!?

Please tell me it ain't so. Then I might actually have to take accountability for my actions and I can't do that.

That particular fairy must be employed by the dentists' lobby, I guess 😂
