WALL STREET PARTYS –
April 20, 2026 – To learn more, we spoke to three registered dietitians to learn what nutrition (if any) diet soda provides, and what you can expect to happen in the body if you sip on it regularly. Many diet sodas get their sweetness from artificial sweeteners … “Diet soda is by no means a healthy food. So it’s not something I ever encourage people to add to their diet,” Moral of the story? If you’re already a daily diet soda drinker, it’s probably okay—within a limit of one can per day. If you don’t already drink diet soda, there’s little reason to start—unless you regularly consume regular soda. Regardless of which camp you’re in, choosing more nourishing beverages—like water, unsweetened sparkling water, herbal tea, or small amounts of 100 percent fruit juice (with no added sugar)—before reaching for diet soda is a better choice. Prioritizing a diverse, well-rounded diet rich in whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean proteins is equally important here, too.
