Are Diet Sodas Better than Regular Soda?

February 1, 2009 -- Question: Is drinking diet soft drinks a healthy alternative to drinking regular soda?

Answer: There are few things in our diet that are as bad for our health as is full-sugar soda. So almost everything will be a step in the right direction. Of course the best choice will be plain water. But if for some reason that's not possible, then a diet soda will be a whole lot better than the full-sugar version.
