Ok so I will admit I am a Diet Coke drinker and even to excess at times. I had some dried blood on my garage floor and a six pack of diet pepsi sitting on a shelf for about two years. Idea! I dumped the diet pepsi on the floor in hopes that it would help remove the dried blood. Wow to my surprise it did remove the dried blood all of it and even the pain on the floor!

Imagine what it's removing from your stomach

Yep, and people that drink that liquid death, wonder why they have health problems later on. The regular soda is not good for you and that diet stuff is just a cancer enhancer. Pure garbage, but it does remove rust!

If you have paint in your stomach you have much bigger problems . . .

You may not like it, but it is not poison by any reasonable definition of the word (nor is it liquid death). Consumed in reasonable quantities it is nutritionally/health-status irrelevant. Not even empty calories.

Corellation is not causation. Mayo gets it . . https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-diet-soda-and-high-blood-pressure/
Good luck with that, keep drinking mass produced chemicals. Check back in 20 and let us know that worked out for you.

Yup - no point in actually using basic scientific principles to discuss health and medicine when hyperbole, emotion and rumor will do.
I Posted a link that was chock full of research to support my position. You didn’t read it because you goggled you’re position 20 seconds later.
arguing with an idiot makes two idiots. I am out.

This website is a fun read for anybody wondering why mere correlation is not very useful.

Spurious Correlations
Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.

First, I have read hundreds of research papers in this field so I was fairly sure of what it would say, but in fairness to your offering I read the summary to see if it had causal data or mere correlation. Once I saw merely correlation I knew it wasn’t worth reading further.
As for your idiot remark, name calling is always the last fallback in a discussion. I should have added name calling to the list of “hyperbole, emotion and rumor” in lieu of good science.

No six pack of beer would have made it 2 years in my garage.
