I always see fat people drinking diet sodas. It’s usually next to their Big Mac and large fries.

From the article: "That's a major limitation, researchers say, as it's impossible to determine whether the association is due to a specific artificial sweetener, a type of beverage or another hidden health issue."

My comment : Like being obese in the first place?

"Studies" like this are a waste of time and money.

[BigDaddyBrose]

Honestly tho, if I’m gonna drink a soda, it’s gonna be the high octane stuff anyway, and only if There’s no beer.

I used to crave cold Coke cans out the fridge. Glad i quit years ago , same with Gatorade. Never went with the diet or "zero" crap. The caffeine free gold Coke cans were legit at one time.

Bring it, I have bitchin' life insurance.

Thanks, you saved me the effort of confirming what I suspected.

How is diet soda any different from Bang and other “0” calorie energy drinks?

[DASBUNKER]

Diet soda isn't a supplement, wrong section.

It probably sells at a 1000/1 ratio

It isnt. The only thing to really focus on is the type of sweetener used, and current mainstays have not been implicated in any morbidity increase.

[Kiop]

been avoiding artifical sweeteners like plague
they mess my mood...100% srs

If any of this we're even slightly true Coke would of pulled the sweeteners years ago

arent you the guy who says BCAA's are a miracle.? you shouldn't even be replying to anyone anymore.

That would be dinner for our first date.

Technically Bang is a diet soda

Miracle? please stop reading so deep into my posts. If you want a signed BCAA tub, just ask

[latverian41]

Diet drinks are pure garbage anyways

[latverian41]

The people who drink this chit are not to bright to begin with.

Why does anyone e get a big Mac and a large fry and then a diet drink?

I've come close to asking when I see this happening but always elect to just mind my own business.
.surely they do not think by ordering a diet drink they are at least taking one step in the right direction.?

I actually I knew a guy once who was fat and trying to lose weight and he would buy those slim fast cans.

I'd go to his house and he would open a can of it and pout it over a couple scoops if ice cream.

There is just no chance at trying to figure out what goes on inside the head of a complete idiot.

Well...it is fewer calories.

How is it not at least a step or partial step in the right direction? It's hundreds of calories extra, without refill, to get regular soda and not diet.

I'm not saying or implying that being obese and eating a big mac with super fry + diet drink for lunch is going to solve anything or get you anywhere, but let's be real...hundreds of calories fewer is hundreds of calories fewer.

generalize some more

[BenBlue]

lol at these studies. Correlation =/= causation. Why does this constantly need to be repeated on these forums?

Because all the sugar in real pop is so healthy to begin with. And sugar hasn't been linked to all of these health problems, and more as well...smh

These studies are a joke. I'll choose a diet drink over real pop every time, personally. It's a treat that comes with zero calories, and I genuinely don't enjoy real pop. All that sugar makes me feel disgusting, and triggers cravings (although I'm not one of those guys who thinks sugar is the devil)

Side note: if you're going to generalize people and say that they aren't too bright, you'd come across a lot smarter yourself if you used proper grammar.

You clearly havent had Diet Dr. Extreme.

Actually there's some very compelling research of the combination of sucrose and high fat meals that cause significantly greater issues than either alone. So yea...

[RedRusty]

I'm drinking my Pepsi and Coke Zero anyway. Sorrynotsorry, I'll take an early death (didn't read the article).

Also LOL that those of us who drink diet aren't that bright. So much I could say. But shan't.
