Aspartame is definitely not good, splenda is the worst and that's what they use in coke, not trying to scare you, like I said don't worry about every little thing you put in your body, if the doctors sensed a problem, they'd say something, if they're not concerned, you don't need to be either :)

Yes you do have a choice,  swhite.  You can drink water.  

Maybe your dietician sensed you were not receptive to that,  and settled for just trying to keep you from drinking sugary things.  Sometimes,  you have to pick your battles,  and it sounds like she avoided this one.

Next time you see her,  ask if you should be drinking water or diet sodas,  because you really want to do what's best.   I know what the answer will be.
