Putting a few vitamins in Diet Coke is a good thing if it helps people's health and brain functions, and harms nobody. Even people with balanced diets benefit from B vitamin supplements.

I don?t see how putting B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc in the Diet Coke hurts anybody. I?m not sure how diet soda is garbage junk food- it has no calories, and is just like drinking water with a lot of impurities that may or may not cause cancer.
If they can get some extra vitamins to a lot of people, more power to them. Even people with balanced diets can have vitamin deficiencies, and even if they don?t, can benefit from extra amounts of vitamins. Keep in mind that hardly anyone gets 100% of the RDA of all nutrients.
?You should have a balanced diet anyway? is not a good argument against vitamin supplemented diet cola. I don?t see you complaining about vitamin supplements in cereal and flour, but then again I don?t read your blog.
What next?
?Why are they putting caffeine in soda? You should just drink coffee!!!?
