&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your comments on this article. We &amp;nbsp;want to make sure our sources are current &amp;nbsp;and we list them on each article. &amp;nbsp; You brought up some great talking points, and like many things in life, moderation can be the key to happiness; There are always opportunities to kick an unhealthy habit, so why not give it the boot? Your suggestion for flavored water or even sparkling water is spot on! Bottoms up and cheers to the best no calorie in all the world- H2O! &lt;/p&gt;

First , there is no mention of the harms or sugar filled sodas. Second, there is no mention of minimal risk of any illness when diet drinks are used in moderation. Third, there is no mention of fact that many people use artificial sweeteners so they can &amp;quot;cheat&amp;quot; on their diet. For example using a packet of Splenda in tea and thinking they can now have that piece of pie for desert. Exchanging about 12 calories for about 450. There is no mention of drinking water or flavored water. And finally, all of this misinformation seems to be based on &amp;quot;one study&amp;quot; and doesn&amp;#39;t say who funded the study. Perhaps it was funded by the high fructose corn syrup institute for healthy living? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
