Diet soda is not healthy. At the very best it's ideally neutral, neither unhealthy or healthy.
However, some research has been coming out lately that suggests diet soda (more specifically artificial sweeteners) may have various negative effects on health. Nothing conclusive but enough to make me avoid artificial sweeteners entirely.
