What is "diet"?

A diet drink is a type of beverage that is made without or with reduced amounts of sugar or other high-calorie sweeteners. The most common diet drinks are diet sodas, which are made by replacing sugar with artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, or stevia. Diet drinks are popular among those looking to reduce their calorie intake or manage their weight without sacrificing the enjoyment of a sweet and refreshing beverage. They are often marketed as a healthier alternative to regular drinks and are widely available in grocery stores, convenience stores, and restaurants. While they may be low in calories, it's important to remember that diet drinks can still be high in other additives and artificial ingredients, and excessive consumption can lead to negative health effects.
