    This is also all over my local news. Thoughts?

    When I go out, I drink vodka and diet coke or diet pepsi. I find regular coke or pepsi too sweet, whereas I do not find that with diet stuff.

    I ensure I eat properly and all the correct nutritients, therefore, when I do go out (which may be once per week), my body is not interested in which nutrients it can get from the soda because it already has them from the grub.

    The way the researchers are going on in the article ie "But when your body doesn't get the things it expects to get, it becomes confused on how to respond." - I don't go with this at all - the body expects nothing, it just does its job and digests the soda, when it finds no nutrients there, it does not get confused, it just continues doing what it is supposed to be doing.

    The researchers are giving the body a mind of its own away from the person - that is damn wrong and is a very dangerous way to think.
