Sugared soft drinks rot your teeth and make you fat,
While they make mean you add fewer inches to your midsection, diet drinks are no better for your teeth (according to my dentist).
The reason sugar in your mouth causes cavities is that bacteria convert it to acid. This acid dissolves your tooth enamel (the white part on the outside).
Apparently the acid content of Diet sodas is quite a bit higher than their non-diet counterparts, so it doesn't help your dental health to drink diet, as there is now acid in your mouth even if you have no bacteria.
