If you're fat and trying to lose weight I feel switching from regular soda to diet can be beneficial. Simply cutting soda for a lot of folks cuts 500 or more calories a day out of their diet.
With that said, as mentioned artificial sweetners cause the same kind of reactions in your body as regular processed sugar. They should be avoided for this reason. The best thing to drink we all know is good old water, and if you're serious about health that is the way to go.
An occasional diet soda is ok if you feel the need but you should absolutely not have it around the house.
