Diet soda is actually correlated more with obesity than regular soda.

At least heavy consumption of diet soda is, iirc.

There is a positive correlation and we both see it but it's just another bogus study. We both see hundreds of people who have a Whopper with Cheese and fries for lunch every day, but think if you order a diet soda it's ok.

It's the same bogus study that would lead one to believe the aspirin causes headaches. People with headaches take aspirin....people who don't have headaches don't take aspirin...aspirin apparently causes headaches.

You are correct, but don’t mistake it for causation.

It seems the fatties know they eat too much, so they drink diet sodas.

IOW, being overweight causes diet soda consumption.

Correlations are great. One guy even wrote a book about them. In one instance he was able to directly correlate the amount of rainfall in Fiji with the price of peanuts in Georgia.
