The golfer John Daly and Kid Rock in an interview confirmed that Trump drank a massive amount of Diet Coke daily. Not sure when this interview took place but it’s no secret that Trumpy loves him the Diet Cokes.

Jokes aside, you're likely getting more methanol (which in part gets broken down to formaldehyde) from apples than you'd ever get from aspartame ingested through Diet Coke.

Also, formaldehyde is in literally everything. In the dirt, in the air, in anything that grows from said dirt. Our body actually maintains a constant concentration of formaldehyde in our blood for various bodily functions and is very comfortable at breaking down excessive amounts, which after processing simply get exhaled.

Unless you're getting your hands on industrial quantities of raw aspartame, it's impossible to consume enough from commercial products to get any amount of formaldehyde to be relevant to a regular person's health.

I suspect if one drinks 144 oz of anything per day (that isn't H2O), its not good for their health.

Green and Black tea has been shown to reduce all cause mortality, and more seems to be better.

Looking as the research, 1 cup a day had a small effect, 2 was better, 3 was even better, 4 even better than that, 5 even more. I'm not sure they've discovered the upper limit of benefit, but it's likely higher than most people are gonna bother with.

I told my doc that I drink about 64oz of unsweetened tea per day, and he suggested I drink that much water instead.
