Get her to at least switch to the diet coke with splenda. It isn't good, but at least it is not as deadly as their main diet coke.

It is true, apparently, that they use sweetener as well as sugar, and I read 
that the reason is that it is cheaper for them to sweeten the drinks with the 
chemicals than with the real sugar.  They don't necessarily identify the fact 
that sugar is not the only sweetener, either, at least not where I live. 
Probably if it is below a certain quantity they don't need to report it, and 
let's face it, very little chemical  is needed to sweeten it.  There is a 
pretty horrific list of tales people tell of their symptoms when using Splenda, 
for instance, which I looked up after the aspartame articles.
