#12I wonder how long the diet soda manufactures have been working on this, and preparing for it. I would not be surprised if they already have some thing ready to go to replace it with.
Eh, we know for a fact the nitrates in bacon cause cancer, but how many people stopped eating it?
Unfortunately I know people who drink diet coke like it's water. If somebody ate bacon at that volume they wouldn't live long enough for cancer to get them.

#13This puts aspartame in the same category as aloe vera. It is classified as less risky than drinking hot beverages or eating red meat.

First time I was in California, visiting partner and their family, their mom saw the California Cancer Warning of Doom label on a restaurant, and wanted to know why they couldn't simply not allow the substances known to cause cancer.
One of those substances is alcohol, and this place sold drinks.
Also she was a smoker at the time.

Nitrates in bacon are essential for making bacon. Aspartame is not essential for making coke.
Bacon isn't an essential food, at least not for humans. You don't need to eat it at all.
Likewise cola, of course.

#17Good, the less profits soda companies have, the better. Its bad for you regardless of the sweetener. 35-40 grams of sugar per 12 oz can. Insanity.

Nitrates in bacon are essential for making bacon. Aspartame is not essential for making coke.
You can buy nitrite-free bacon - doesn't that mean it's not essential?

In my market in Minnesota, Diet coke with "plant based sweetener" is being sold in small quantities. I'm sure it's a market test, and probably good timing based on this too.
We’ve had that in France a few months (years?) ago too. Never went mainstream. I tested it, I did not like it.

> plant based sweetener
Sounds like stevia?
