Why do we need billions in research to confirm this?

    So when I throw a barbeque, I know to plan my drink menu based on the average weight of my guests. Duh...

    Before I joined MFP and realy started adjusting my diet and lifestyle, I drank regular pop. I cut out pop completely for awhile (which was the best option) but now I drink only diet. I know none of it is good for me and I'm sure I'm going to die of diabetes, cancer, etc. because of my soda consumption but at least I won't die of obesity related symptoms.... ;)

    I was overweight and drank diet cokes all the time. Now I'm not overweight and I still drink diet cokes all the time! I'm just more aware now =) I drink a lot of water and at lunch and dinner I have a diet soda. So be it!

    I think the statement was backwards. The more a person drinks diet drinks the tendency is to be overweight. AS was said, "It's all bad." I enjoy a diet Mt. Dew once a week. I like the taste. I like to drink it at my grandchildren's ball games. However, I was not obese because of soda. It was overeating. Never drank much of any kind of soda. It's all relative.

    I like diet ginger ale 1000000x more than regular ginger ale.

    All other diet sodas are rat poison and I'm soda shaming everyone that drinks them

    I can attest to this, as I was drinking 2+ liters a day when I was at 200 lbs. Though now I'm at 150 and still drink 2+ liters a day, so im not sure what that proves :)
