I honestly like the taste of diet coke more than regular, but I drink more than I should and I'm afraid of one day developing cancer from the aspartame. I also dont want to just switch to a regular soda because of all of the sugar. The only cola I could find that seems to fit my criteria is Jones Soda Sugar-Free Cola, which as neither sugar nor aspartame, but it tastes flat and syrupy.
Does anyone have any good, high carbonation, crisp diet cola, or something similar?

You are not going to "develop cancer from aspartame"!!
Jeez, WHEN will people get a brain that allows them to THINK instead of listening to all the urban legends and bizarre scare stories on the internet??
It's perfectly safe. READ:

Coke Zero has a good addictive taste, or the diet coke with splenda also works.
On a side note, i'm pretty sure that if you don't drink three times your body weight in diet coke daily you won't have a problem.
And with all the extra diet coke lieing around, go get yourself some mentos and have a blast.

aspartame and saccharin is known to cause cancer. i thought Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi now use Splenda now because of the affects sweet&low and equal can have on the body

It would really be best to just switch to water if you're afraid of developing cancer. Someone mentioned a soda with saccarine in it, but saccarine also causes cancer. And I don't think splenda has been around long enough for studies to be done on its long-term effects on the body.
So have a soda once in awhile, but try to switch to water. Also, the carbonation (in any drink) is not good for you. Carbonation leaches calcium from your bones, and you'll end up paying for it when you're older. If you have a history of osteoperosis in your family, then you should cut out all carbonated drinks. (Okay, maybe one occasionally - but definitely not several a day.)

I drank Diet Rite for a long time, gave up soda for a while and didn't like it any more, so I just drink water. And rum and fruit juice, but that doesn't help you.

Coke has a diet version with Splenda. It's not very good, though.

Splenda is just as bad as Aspartame, so I do what I can to avoid ALL artificial sweeteners. As I have an intolerence to them. Sugar in moderation is best.

Diet Rite - it tastes better, anyway. They also have more flavor choices than cola. Frankly, I prefer Crystal Light. They have a wide array of choices, and it's really just flavored water. It's non aspertame, as well.
