It's probably better for your teeth, and, if you're drinking caffeinated soda in large volumes, that's not great. So: the sense in which it's better for health is pretty measurable.

Even if you replace water entirely with diet coke, the caffeine is not enough to cause harm.

> It's probably better for your teeth

So is not eating or sleeping or breathing.

This seems conspicuously like measurement, so I think we agree.

Most soda (not energy drinks) has very little caffeine. 12oz Diet coke has 42mg, black tea is 50mg, coffee varies but I see at least 100mg.

Of course people do seem to drink it mass quantities.
