We already have science that shows diet sodas increase diabetes and obesity almost 2 for 1 (through calorie) craving and are in many ways worse (calcium malabsorption) than high fructose corn syrup.
Then we have you ignoring the science, and saying just choose diet soda.

- i_cannot_hack 7y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I do not see any conclusion in that study that diet drinks are worse than non-diet drinks regarding metabolic syndrome (only that diet drinks might also be bad to some degree). A study analysing 36000 deaths and 3 million person-years (published by the American Heart Association) found a 21% increase in all cause mortality among those consuming 2 or more sugar sweetened beverages per day. Consuming 2 or more artificially sweetened beverages, on the other hand, was associated with only a 4% increase. And moderate consumtion of artificially sweetened beverages (< 2 per day) was actually, unlike sugar, associated with decreased mortality.
