eh, Diet Coke is primarily water, aspartame, phosphoric acid and caffeine. I drink 5/6 of them a day (don't like water much). The paper linked actually says short term effects of diet soda are less problematic, but recent evidence suggests that aspartame may have harms on the microbiome and glucose tolerance generally. That said, the idea of drinking anything either sweet or carbonated before bed, during the night, or in the morning, mind boggling to me, that does sound really gross.
