Study: http://www.nature.com/ijo/journal/v37/n10/pdf/ijo2012225a.pdf

"After controlling for several factors that could affect weight gain, the researchers found that people who drank water, coffee, tea, and diet beverages gained less weight each four-year period than people who drank sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice."

"While drinking water has long been recommended for weight watchers, this is the first study to show that increasing water consumption is independently and significantly associated with lower long-term weight gain, according to the authors."

Interesting.

    It is interesting. I just read the other day about how sugary drinks make you hungrier for more, so I can definitely see the correlation. Not only is it generally more fattening, but makes you crave more sugar so it adds more and more.

    That goes against the claims that diet drinks prevent weight loss.
