It's not the diet soda that makes you fat......I think what that report doesn't say is that people who rely heavily on Diet Sodas tend to not concentrate on what they eat


it's the whole "I'll have a Double Big Mac, SuperSize Fries and a Diet Sprite" argument

Exactly. No one is considering the context. You've got a fat farm of test subjects. Of course the results will be skewed.

Take someone with epic leans and see what results you get!

Treat?  I`d rather drink Pepsi Max than water as the water contained therein is triple filtered and incredibly pure.  In fact, I drink around 8-12 a day and water only sometimes.

I know that Pepsi reincorporated in North Carolina and was originally from Delaware, but I have always been under the impression that a true southern gentleman drank Coca-Cola and that Pepsi was for the "undesirables".  Perhaps my outlook is antiquated.

Inconclusive. However, some still say the same thing about second hand smoke.

Drinking a diet soda actually works as an appetite suppressant in my experience.

shit, sometime you're in the mood to drink soda no matter what you usually drink on a daily basis. when it calls to drink some sodas, you gotta have it. I Drink 2 liters of coke once a month. it aint gonna kill me........fuck all those studies.......anything you do without some type of moderation will have some fucking effects on you.....go figure.

Go to the Coca-Cola plant in Atlanta and you can have as much as you want.  8)

Pepsi was born in New Bern, NC in 1898 and not from Delaware.  Coca-Cola is the drink of Yankees.

What makes it the drink of Yankees? I am pretty sure that Coke was made in Mississippi or Atlanta, Georgia. What do you constitute as a yankee?  ???

It's nonsense to say diet soda can make you fat.  I've dieted for shows and kept diet soda in the mix until about 5 days out.  The only reason I don't touch the diet stuff anymore is because of the aspertame.

diet soda's are worse for you all the way around.

my best friends daughter interned for a major medical research institute while in medical school. she worked in a department speciallizing in the research between regular soda and diet soda ingrediants. Long story short: regular soda is better for you than diet soda. And nobody should drink any kind of soda.
I don't believe that shit.

Yep, normal coca-cola is great in that situation.  :D

The only postulated theory as to why you get fatter is because your brain is tricked into eating more.

Maybe for the average fatso, that holds true.

But if you have a modicum of intelligence and follow a diet plan, how do you overeat? Just follow the plan, and get the calories you're supposed to. And therein lies the benefit of sugar-free sodas/drinks - you get all the taste, none of the calories.

If you figure you can have an extra big mac because you didn't have a coke classic, then yes, you deserve to be fat because you take no responsibility for what goes into your gullet.

Bodybuilders have known this for years. But no one wants to do no heavy assed dieting!
Americans think more is better, this study uses the word "tricked", which people will think: "it's not my fault, I was tricked.", thus meaning that the responsibility of their eating habits doesn't lie with them. I can go McDonald's, Wendy's, Burgerking and go to Subway or go to the market and get a healthy dish...why can't fat people do the same? Well, because they have been "tricked". And if I do go to a fast food place, I don't get soda...

You do realize that is irrational.  There is nothing wrong whatsoever with aspartame.

Those swindling carpetbaggers will have us believe anything in order to separate us from our legal tender.

I also think people are hypercritical and that aspartame is fine. Maybe if you mainline grams of it, it might be bad.
