The World Health Organization (WHO) is coming for your diet soda... Actually they're not, but the WHO has recognized that aspartame, the artificial sweetener in all your favorite low- or no-calorie beverages and snack items is "possibly" carcinogenic.

What does that mean for sugar and caffeine addicts? Will people quit diet soda for good? Will they be more likely to quit eating salad?

These questions and more were answered in this week's episode.
