Normal Coke is probably worse but they're both horrible.

I only drink normal Coke but sparingly. Usually I'm having water or plain black coffee. I think the takeaway is that diet Coke doesn't allow you to train yourself to enjoy normal sweet foods again. I just had an apple and strawberries and it is basically candy to me.

Edit: I have a question. Rank these food items by how healthful they are:

a) 150 calories of Coca-Cola Classic

b) 150 calories of fresh fruit

c) 0 calories of Diet Coke

Are you considering mental well-being as well, or just pure physical health? Because in case of the former, option b) will end up with the lowest score.

I'm considering the same as the parent comment.
