    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.

        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.
