They’re tense because they’re trying to lose weight. Relax and love yourself, honey.

Don’t drink ‘em, get fat and die another way. Can’t win either way unless you just drink water and even then you don’t for sure what’s in that...

[Hugin]

Because fat people drink diet soda, skinny people drink regular.

People who drink diet sodas have already self-identified as being concerned about weight, and therefore are far more likely to be overweight with associated health problems. Flawed study, flawed conclusion. Now, if they were to have controlled for weight there might be some merit. But, they didn’t.

What’s wrong with sugar?

Well, dying is nature’s way of telling us to slow down - or - I’m going to take it real easy until the day I die then taper off.

More likely to die?

[tflabo]

A few years ago I was on the job with a co-worker who had to be rushed to the ER with some major heart palpitations. Once it was normalized he was informed to stop drinking so much diet coke. He used to chug down mucho Big Gulps full before the incident. Too much of anything consumed is not a good thing.

So switch to high-fructose-corn-syrup-sweetened drinks and die even faster.

Researchers found women who drank two or more diet drinks a day were 30 percent
more likely to have a heart attack or other cardiovascular "event,"
and 50 percent more likely to die, than women who rarely touch such drinks.

***********

I suspect that if they would explore their research data just a tad more
they'd find out that the 50% die at sometime regardless of what they drink.

[Mr Rogers]

“The women who drank the most drinks were also more likely to smoke, to be overweight, to have diabetes and to have high blood pressure, Vyas noted.”

‘nuff said.

[amnestynone]

They are more likely to die!!! But, I thought everyone died.

[ravenwolf]

There has never been a case in history that any one who has heart problems is not doing something wrong.

No one gets out alive so enjoy yourself for cryin' out loud!

[TexasFreeper2009]

I have known from day one that all those artificial sweeteners were poison.

[montag813]

Uh, maybe this has to do with the fact that such woman are fat as a house, may have cardiac issues already, and engage in dangerous “binge” diets?

[miliantnutcase]

I recently lost 50+ lbs and I started drinking Diet Mnt Dew about that time. (oh noes) However, I also cut out fast food and lowered my caloric intake. ;-)
