    I have all but stopped drinking ALL sodas in general and I have noticed I feel much better and have less desire for snacking. I drink water with a little lemon in it now. I have lost 6 lbs in the last week. I think there is a connection!

    I'm just going to enjoy my Diet Coke and DARE the diabeetus to strike me down.

    Next thing you know I'm gonna read all about how too much read meat will give me hemorrhoids. And bacon will make me popular with all the ladies.

    There are so many bogus studies out there, and people post them without even reading through them to determine if the study even holds merit.

    There is absolutely NO correlation between artificial sweeteners and spiked insulin. None. Zero. Zilch.

    There are countless studies out there that have monitored blood sugar levels after consuming all kinds of drinks. So, I'm hard pressed to listen to one silly study with not an ounce of real science involved.

    This is a joke right? Well, even if it isn't, it gave me a good laugh. I'm going to log that as exercise, 2 cal for hilarious post.

    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.

    I just wanted to say I liked your usage of "Doy!"... haven't heard that one in a long time.

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

    I think there is merit to trying to stick with putting primarily "natural" items in your body. If I can find the natural soda spring in the mountains somewhere, I'm drinking that whether it is diet or regular. :wink:

    Now unless all of the diabetes specialists that my workplace has unleashed on us this year are totally wrong, I'm pretty sure that diabetes is caused by the gut, pancreas, and liver not working properly... As the gut produces the hormone GLP-1, which tells the pancreas how much insulin to produce, which in turn tells the liver how much sugars to produce (simplified cliff notes version from our seminars).... Pretty sure this can happen when not ever drinking diet soda too...

    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.

    Um, his username is SirBonerFart. Not casting troll stones, but typically with a user name like that...

    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

    "That chemical stuff" -- WTF? Do you ignore that chemical stuff H2O? or N2O2ArCO2NeHeCH4KrH2Xe

    :drinker: We must ban all chemicals!!!

    Yeah, this guy is a confirmed troll. I highly doubt he believes what he posted.
