It depends on what you consider diet. If you want a caffeine free diet the caffeine free cola is diet. But in most cases diet refers to low calories diet, in this case caffeine free soda is not diet as its energy content is similar to a regular soda.

∙ 12y agoSodas like Coca-Cola get some natural caffeine from Kola nuts.
Typically, caffeine is added to soda.
"Soft drinks have become the favorite caffeine-containing beverage in the United States: 12 oz. can of soft drink may contain 30-72 mg of caffeine. Less than 5% of this caffeine is from the Kola nut; manufacturers add the other 95%, using the extract obtained from the [Coffee's] decaffeination process. The level of caffeine found in a particular brand is consistent from can to can because of strict manufacturing controls. Only those soft drinks containing caffeine will show it as an ingredient on the product
"Why is caffeine added to soda?American society has a history of adding substances to food and drink that are addictive in order to sell more. Consider the jingle, "You can't eat just one." If you were selling these products don't you think you would do research to find out which additive/preservative is most addicting? This was the premise behind adding cocaine to coca-cola when it first came out. Of course, today cocaine can no longer be used as an additive and caffeine has been substituted instead. Only after medical research shows evidence of a problem with a drug do manufacturers look for alternatives.Wiki User

it depends on the soda...you have to read the ingredients. Ingrediants higher on the list means there is more of them, and lower on the list says there is less of them. So if the ingredients say caffeine at the bottom then there's only a little caffeine in that soda. Most diet sodas dont have caffeine though.

Sodas do not contain any fat to begin with.

Sometimes you can get migraines if you have allergies to caffeine or aspartame (artificial sweetener),but that's pretty rare. I think diet sodas can cause miscarriages if you're pregnant, but other than that, they're okay.
