I was never a big sweet drink fan.

Good, old fashioned naturally healthy BEER works for me!

Probably because they think, “I’m drinking a diet soda, so I can go ahead and pig out on all this red meat...”

Exactly!
These guys are idiots.... people who drink diet colas are likely to be prone to obesity to begin with.

I love the people that order double-cheeseburgers and large fries and a diet coke.

This is what passes for science these days? We should be shocked that people who are overweight prefer Diet Coke? We are supposed to assume that Diet Coke is the reason they are fat?

Give me a break. If this wasn’t FR I would have added an adjective.

First it was “BIG EGG”.

Now it is “BIG DIET SODA”.

Here “they” come again.

One would think there are too many other variables to simply come to this conclusion. Most people who drink diet consistently probably do so because they eat too much. One would have to feed control group the same diet to each participant daily to assume the reason is diet soda.

Maybe it’s junk food like this is junk science

If there’s no tea, I do that only because I don’t like HFCS sweetened sodas.

But I also ride my mountain bike about 10 miles a day...

Now the fat folks who do this, that’s who you’re aiming for I bet.

You nailed it. I was talking to my doctor who stated the same thing when I asked him about a couple of those studies. He said he ignored most of them unless they were replicated two or three times.
