to quote from the study
Both SSB(sugar-sweetened beverages) consumption and ASB(artificially sweetened beverages) consumption were associated with increased T2D(type 2 diabetes) risk.

Maybe this will finally stop all you saboteurs who try to push diet soda on us

    "Conclusions: Both SSB consumption and ASB consumption were associated with increased T2D risk. We cannot rule out that factors other than ASB consumption that we did not control for are responsible for the association with diabetes, and randomized trials are required to prove a causal link between ASB consumption and T2D."

    The conclusions section leaves the door wide open to other possibilities.

    Additional information would be needed such as what percentage of diet soda drinkers eat a well balanced diet.

    To complete your quote:

    I will not drink any soda (diet or otherwise) even if there is no link to any Diabetes type (I or II).

    That chemical stuff is bad for my body, my health and my wallet.

    To each its own

    ...In individuals who drink more than a liter a day, which probably means they're not living a healthy lifestyle.

    I've seen more reliable experiments conducted at a children's science fair.

    Doy! Of course it's associated with T2D, because when people get T2D the first thing they do is cut out sources of sugar, so they switch to diet soda.

    There is no reason to assume A causes B instead of B causes A. It's just as valid to assert that diabetes causes diet soda consumption.

    Men over 200 lbs are more likely to be capable of benching over 300 lbs.

    Associated, not causal. BIG difference. People who drink diet sodas are probably already overweight (known risk factor for diabetes) and also may have a family history.

    I need to leave now, I just hate it when someone makes a statement like the OP and expects us all to be sheep and just blindly believe it.

    Damn artificially sweetened soda! Damn it straight to hell! I wasted my whole youth spending time with it and getting to know it. Telling it all my dreams and secrets. What did it give me? Nothing. Not. One. Damned. Thing.

    Now I find out it's giving things to other people. Did they put in the time that I did? I doubt it. I seriously doubt it.
