Lab tests, drinking diet soda ok?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: I am not sure what your question about lab tests is about, but drinking diet soda is not good for health.

Lab tests: If you're having lab tests and they've asked you to be fasting for these, you can drink water only before they're drawn. Diet soda is not healthful, no matter when you drink it. http://tinyurl.com/ck3xpqh.
