Yes they are bad, because Splenda and Aspartame are not good for you. They damage your organs, can cause seizures, severe headaches, etc...Since your body doesn't know what to do with Splenda or Aspartame, the molecular structure ends up turning into something similar to DDT. :|
Do you know how Splenda is made? It's made by soaking granulated sugar in bleach molecules. Now how "healthy" is that? Do you want another suprise? Splenda is manufactured by Johnson and Johnson.
Aspartame was discovered by accident in a chemists lab. I am not sure of how Splenda was discovered, however they are both chemicals not found in nature. They are not food substances and never were supposed to be put in foods. Aspartame was discovered by accident when the guy's boss asked a young scientist to test this substance. The scientist thought the guy said "taste" this substance. They discovered it was sweet and went from there. Aspartame and Splenda have both been shown to cause brain cancer over time, or cause the brain to have other problems over time.
As for sodas in general, they destroy tooth enamel and promote tooth decay
If you want a delicious diet drink, just make them at home yourself with a juice extractor and blender. If you want to sweeten something, use juice from a freshly crushed apple or a little bit of honey.
You may be asking yourself why this stuff gets to market if it's bad for us. Simple, the FDA doesn't work for your or I, It works for the corporations with the big bucks (billions of dollars) I know it's sad, but it's true...
There are people in our government who are literally on the payroll of pharmaceutical companies.....disgusting. You can do a search right now for 60 minutes videos on cbsnews.com or google or youtube to find out more about this information. Please check out the link I mention below too

Lots! The fake sweetener first of all is totally hazardous to your health. But secondly, the 'fizz' in the soda is really bad on your esophagus and liver and kidneys; if you are a singer, or like to talk, that might be hampered by prolonged, widespread use of diet sodas. There's NOTHING healthy about a diet drink; try sparkling mineral water if you must have the 'fizz', but better yet try distilled or purified water and you can add a bit of lemon juice for flavor.

It has been shown that aspartame(the sweetener used in some) has a very bad effect on the brain over time.
