A quick search does bring up this page, which mentions an observational study where people who drank more diet soda gained more weight. https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/diet-sodas-and-weight-gain-not-so-fast https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/diet-sodas-and-weight-ga...
But, again, "diet soda causes weight gain" doesn't explain how drinking more diet soda would lead to weight gain. Whereas "people who drank more diet soda also ate more (than those who drank less diet soda)" seems both plausible, and would explain the result.
- gomerspiles 2y agoRight, so this is an example of a UPF that would be more harmful than avoiding UPFs given that it confuses the senses and most people don't want to track everything and refuse themselves food according to the numbers. One could naturally make UPFs that are entirely boring, but his would they compete on the consumer market with UPFs like the diet cola?
