This seems like pretty terrible science. Correlation does not imply causality. All that they did was observe that people who happen to drink diet sodas also happen to have a (slightly: 2.11cm vs .78 cm) higher increase in waistline. They didn't control for caloric intake, it wasn't doubly-blind, the choice of amount of diet soda consumption was self-selected. This would be analagous to finding that people who are on diets are fatter than people who are not, and writing a headline saying "Dieting makes you fat."
