Why is diet pop/soda considered "bad"? my doctor mentioned in my last check-up its "like poison" but didn't elaborate.

Multiple reasons. : A harvard study showed that diet sodas caused decline in kidney function due to the diet sweeteners. They can rot teeth and destroy teeth enamel due to being acidic in nature. Diet sodas also contain chemical substances which can cause cell damage. Although diet sodas contain low calories they still increase the size of peoples waistlines and contribute to metabolic syndrome.
