Is Coke Zero also carcinogenic?

Just heard the news about Diet Coke. I drink about two cans a day and I feel devastated. Is it safe to switch to Coke Zero?

A lot of things are carcinogenic. Benzene from automobile exhaust is carcinogenic.

The exposure determines the risk. You would need substantial quantities to increase your cancer risk.

benzene and car exhaust is awful at normal exposures, this is not a good example.

It’s still good to know, precisely because a lot of people drink a LOT of diet soda because it feels guilt-free.
