What are the addictive factors in diet soda?

There are no addictive factors present in diet sodas. While diet sodas may contain artificial sweeteners, which are often perceived to carry addictive aspects due to their high level of sweetness, scientific research has not established any addictive effects linked to these sweeteners.

People may develop preferences and habits around consuming diet soda due to their distinct taste and lower calorie content, but this does not equate to addiction in the physiological or chemical sense.
