I wouldn't drink it by the gallons. However, i don't think it is. I enjoy diet pop. LOVE IT. The studie's they do on sweeteners causing cancer are on rats. For the most part, they give the rats more grams of the sweetener in a day than a human would consume in MONTHS meybe even a year so there not valid studies. TaPo, on here has some really great insihght on that.
That said, phosphouric acid in popdoes pull calcium out of your bones. Phosphorous and calcium need to be together so my recommendation is to supplement calcium whenever you dirnk diet soda.

I drink about 1/2 gallon of Diet Coke a day. Even during precontest, I drink it all the way till Wednesday before the contest. I have been trying to cut back because as Kyle said, that much may not be the best thing for you although I have had no issues with it.
