Soda in any form is a diarrhetic and causes dehydration. It's not good for the body in any amount, much less in large bottles. That said, as a long time drinker of sodie pop, my body appears to expect the sugar. Having non caloric sweeteners after a while is like that feeling of dieting where the body wants to return to it's normal. I look at it as a good thing. I shouldn't be drinking it, and if I'm going to I'd rather not contribute to diabetes in my older future.
