I have long suspected the obesity/diet drink connection based solely on my own observation. More interesting is that the Air Force Flight Surgeon banned USAF pilots from drinking diet soda because of neurological/brain issues. I believe some of the fake sugars are poison, partially based on that report.
Drinks containing no calories lead to weight gain. Got it.

Yes, at one time some people believed that the phenylalanine and aspartic acid from aspartame could cause seizures. I wonder if they also believe that consuming these two amino acids naturally, from the food we eat every day, could also cause seizures. Ignorant people claim ignorant things. I recall one commercial pilot who claimed he lost his job because aspartame caused him to suffer a seizure in flight. During a test, he drank 10 cans of diet coke in one sitting but never experienced any ill effects. Why this ingredient causes seizures in a can of diet soda but not when we get the same chemicals that occur naturally in the food we eat every day is something no one can seem to explain.

Feelings are just that, feelings. When you get some proof, based on sound science, you can make a case that artificial sweeteners are poison. Until then, it's just feelings.
I drank a lot of diet soda from about the age of 9 until about 6-7 years ago when I just quit. It was never by choice I am a type 1 diabetic who was diagnoised at 9yo. I drink no soda now at all. Iced tea with nothing in it is very refreshing. I love using the sun to make it with too because I think it gives it a touch of sweetness.
