They have been saying this for years, but much of the research is suppressed or discounted. These huge multi-national corporations have the power to do this.

People have been getting fatter since the invention and sale of 'diet' drinks. Diet drinks taste vile. If your going to drink a diet drink, drink water, fresh coffee or tea ! It's very healthy and its NOT uncool to do so! (sorry to sound like an asshole)

Diet drinks do not work. What percentage of non-overweight people actually drink diet ? It's a minority.

Ok yeah, thats why overweight people drink diet, because they are overweight. But, come on, how many of those people actually lose weight ? In fact, i would put my money on most of those people actually end up gaining weight !

Reason : Diabetes and over eating.

Diabetes - Put simply. The body needs sugar - FACT - and when you starve it. When it does gets sugar, it does not know how to deal with it properly (INSULIN RESISTANCE). Over time, diabetes occurs. Those already with diabetes, it just makes it worse. You gain weight, kidneys get damaged from poorer cardiovascular health and high BP. Diabetes is also the leading cause of DEMENTIA !

Over Eating - You're not getting ANY calories from the diet drink, so you compensate by over eating. Because, your body is screaming out for sugar and carbs!

BTW - A 330ml can of coke ONLY has about 150 calories ! Thats only about 6% of the daily amount for the average male and about 7.5% for average female.
Sugar is a very important part of your diet, like fat is. Just like there are good fats and bad fats, there are good sugars and bad sugars. Unfortunately, the shit inside sugary drinks you buy from the store is filled with the cheapest refined sugar they can lay their hands on. So, its all about moderation. But not abstinence.

You don't need to be a doctor to work any of this out, its common sense. Don't get brainwashed by the hype ffs!

For those who drink diet drinks, stop pumping your body full of chemicals. Go back to drinking full sugar drinks, but do so in moderation. You will find you eat up eating less, and your blood sugar will be better regulated !

Studies have clearly shown, that those with diabetes consuming sweeteners, get sicker.
