Juon mieluummin vettä kuin keinomakeutettua kokista. Siihen on muitakin syitä kuin tämä mahdollinen syöpäriski.

Possible cancer risk?
Here's the deal:
- You'll never have human RCT data on aspartame and cancer
- If there's a risk, the effect size would be tiny compared to smoking or obesity
- There are interesting data that physiological doses of aspartame can cause issues
Mostly emphasized, there are data on glucose intolerance, thought to be mediated by microbiome changes.
But there are other data too, like this mouse study in PNAS showing aspartame can promote anxiety behavior at dose equivalents of 2-4 Diet Coke, and this can be transmitted to future generations.
Of note, you'll never get these data on humans, so you can proceed as you please, appreciating the limitations of scientific tools available

But all that aside... There's a difference between saying Diet Coke is worse than regular Coke and Diet Coke is not a health food.
How bad do you want it?
How much does it mean to you when there is uncertainty on the spectrum of health impacts?
Myself. I'll stick to water. Never liked Diet Coke. You do you. But don't claim Diet Coke is either a pack per day of cigarettes or drinking it as your primary fluid is as healthy as just drinking water
