Thanks, I'll have to check out this diet tonic water. Which section do you typically find it in?
At Publix, it's in the soft drinks aisle. Other stores carry their own brands, just check the ingredients to make sure it has Quinine. And the diet versions don't have sugar, so that's a bonus.
My local supermarket has their own brand of quinine, which doesn't have sugar, but is not labeled as diet.
For several decades the British colonial societies in their tropical colonies drank tonic with with quinine to fend off malaria and dengue fever. It appears to have had some beneficial effects. They also liked to spike the drink with English gin, thus the drink we have today of "gin and tonic." Of course the gin has zero health benefits, but mad dogs and Englishmen....
Should be fine then.
Thanks Fren! I'll get some today
Unfortunately, the Publix diet tonic water contains sucralose AKA Splenda as well as acesulfame potassium (Ace-K).
Both Splenda and Ace-K can mess with gut health. Some studies have shown Splenda can mess with fertility but they've been buried by the pro-Splenda studies.

Can't go wrong with Q tonic if you're wanting some quinine-
