The nutrition community doesn’t like diet soda. Although added sugar is a top public health concern, diet soda is consistently met with something between distrust and hostility. They want to drink soda. But the attitude in the nutrition community isn’t just that you shouldn’t drink soda — regular or diet — it’s that you shouldn’t even want to drink soda. Only 10 per cent of them report drinking sugar-sweetened drinks “regularly,” while 53 per cent drink diet.
