Who'da thunk *-?

I was never a big sweet drink fan.

Good, old fashioned naturally healthy BEER works for me!

[Mercat]

Diet Dr. Pepper?

[SoFloFreeper]

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

[spokeshave]

Yeah.....and that Phosphoric Acid does a good job in dissolving bones.

As usual, no bachup data to support story.

[Veggie Todd]

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

[Paisan]

I KNEW it !

I have only seen Fat Girls drinking Diet Soda, ergo, Diet Soda makes them Fat.

back to my scotch now...

[molson209]

diet soda tastes like Dirt ,horrible stuff

[InterceptPoint]

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.

[Uncle Miltie]

Coincidence is not causation.

Sheesh.

[Washi]

In other science news, people who use more band-aids, tend to get cut more.

[dalebert]

Everything increases belly fat in older adults...we are not as active. Muscle loses elasticity and so on...

[GeronL]

Fake sweetenerd are worse than real sugar, who did not see that coming?

I am convinced corn syrup is worse too. A bit.

[Stevenc131]

I always have a diet soda when I go to Golden Corral, and my waistline has been expanding. I guess the story is right!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

So what are they saying? That diet soda actually causes you to get fat? Typical shallow article that doesn’t delve into causation vs. correlation.

[grimalkin]

Yes, but I want to know what these people ate.

[apillar]

Perhaps they’ve gotten the cause and effect reversed....I figure people with a weight problem or have struggled with weight during their life are more likely to drink diet sodas, and people that have never had a weight problem are more likely to drink regular sodas. So if that is the case it would make sense that the people who drank diet sodas gained more weight, because they were genetically predisposed to gain weight in the first place, the diet soda had nothing to do with it one way or the other.

100% of all people that fall off of bikes were seen to be riding bikes. 100% of people that don’t ride bikes never hurt themselves riding a bike.

Bikes need to be banned
