Do you love the bubbly sweet taste of diet soda? While the label might tout a calorie free option, that seems perfect for your diet, studies have shown that the artificial sweeteners in diet soda can be just as bad for you as regular sugar. If you just can’t kick the craving for carbonation, consider these five healthier beverage options.
