Personally I would rather risk the very near zero chance of any effects from diet drinks -- aspartame, splenda, etcetera -- than get diabetes II from 160 calories a pop.

There are of course amino acids that can calm, like tryptophan, present in milk and turkey and some vegetable products.
Mainly a balanced diet is always a good thing -- if you eat a mixed set of food however your tastes and a multivitamin, you're pretty much set.
