If you mean diet sodas with aspartame, I have to say it doesn't bother me. People who are sensitive to it should not use it, but then that applies to everything. I don't get any adverse effects from it nor does my husband, and from all the scare stories I've read about aspartame, he should be either dead or crippled in a wheelchair by now, and nothing remotely adverse has happened to him. For those who do need to avoid sugar but would like something a bit sweet from time to time, it is better tasting than any other sweetener that I have tried, even stevia. Though I do use stevia a lot, and have so far confined my aspartame intake to an occasional diet pepsi. The splenda sweetened coke just doesn't taste right. I don't consume a lot of diet pop though. I prefer my decaf coffee and I prefer it unsweetened as I do my decaf tea. But when I need a bit of caffeine, I will have 4 to 8 oz of diet pepsi.
If affects different people different ways, and may take years to manifest some things in some people. Many things though once you find it did cause the problem it is too late. For instance we were warning my sister in law that if she kept drinking diet cokes with aspertame in it she was going to get brain tumors (yes, that was dowsed for). She ignored that, kept drinking them, and laster had to have a brain operation to remove the tumors. Unbelievable though, even though forewarned, with the warning coming true, she still drinks them. I guess she has a death wish.
