So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

The problem being, of course, that those that drink things like Diet Coke, are addicted to drinking things like Diet Coke, this hedging after the fact, is such nonsense, and meant to soothe the ruffled feathers of diet beverage manufacturers who advertise with News organizations. If the thing is cancerous, then it’s cancerous, now you know, don’t keep printing stories saying “a little poison is fine, if you watch it” lol

Of course a little poison is often fine, if we use such a broad definition of poison.
If the definition of “poison” includes anything that can hurt you in massive quantities, that would include most drugs, plenty of vitamins, essential minerals, and even water if you take it to the extreme.
You don’t think 14 cans a day is a massive amount?
14 cans a day is a massive amount, and I didn’t say anything to imply otherwise.
I was agreeing with the guy I replied to that “a little poison is often fine” and elaborating that lots of things typically considered “safe” become dangerous in such large quantities.
I think he’s saying that exactly
Look up the Linear No-Threshold Model. Same logic applies here.
