Is Diet Coke bad for you?

If you drink a Diet Coke and 4 Big Macs a day, then you might as well drink a regular Coke.

No, you might as well check yourself into the hospital!

Phenylalanine uses the same active transport channel as tryptophan to cross the blood-brain barrier, and, in large quantities, interferes with the production of serotonin.
