Concerned about aspartame and its relation to weight and other health issues, I quit drinking Diet Pepsi a couple of months ago. This after twenty-some years of being its greatest fan...occasionally hitting the 12 cans a day mark before backing down to 8 or so a day and then inching back up. (I cleaned up whenever they held promotional giveaways.) I replaced my habit with two cans daily of the Splenda-sweetened Pepsi One (which is all you'd want because it's kind of gross.). Guess I'd better work toward ditching that too. Everything I like is bad for me. Quit the habit while you're still young...get out while you can! tg
A little additional information: the OSHA permissible exposure level for benzene is 1000 ppb, and is based on exposure at that level for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 50 weeks per year.
The numbers on the sodas run at 20-40 ppb, except for the very extreme cases of uv and heat exposure.
Don't store your soda in a tanning bed, drink less than approx 2-3 gallons per day, and you'll be ok.
For a comparative risk, the toxins you take in from second-hand smoke every time you go out to a bar are far more likely to cause you trouble than benzene in your diet soda. By the same token, you're far more likely to be injured in a car accident than to suffer adverse health effects from the levels of benzene they're talking about.
