    What if large-scale consumption of diet drinks and foods helped fuel the obesity epidemic?http://on.wsj.com/2D1XRf7

        What if an alternative explanation is that we're eating too much food and not exercising enough? 🤔

        Can't read your stuff behind the paywall. I drink diet soda occasionally. Not obese (bmi: 23.4, body fat 14%). It doesn't take a sugar industry-funded study to know that overeating makes people fat, no matter how much diet soda they drink.

        @jschultzf3 even if diet soda is being given away for $2.50. Stay away!

        What do you mean “what if”? Of course they do. They’re GMO garbage. Go #vegan & #organic.

        Good piece given that it specifically mentions randomised control trials as well as observational ones

        Please save us all from junk science reporting like this. Cohort studies with correlative findings are rubbish when it comes to making conclusions due to confounding factors.

        This is not junk science. If you drink diet soda, stop! Period.

        It's junk science to correlate it with BMI. Calories are the only think that impact weight gain. I and many others who conscientiously control calories can and have lost and maintain that weight loss while drinking diet soda. 95 pounds gone don't lie.

        Good for you. Great job. Stop drinking diet soda unless you want diabetes and heart disease in your future. Drink water. If you must have a diet soda no more than 2 a week. Diet soda is linked to the accumulation of adipose tissue. The deadlier fat.

        All fat is adipose tissue. If I am not consuming excess calories I will not store visceral fat, which is what you mean. Diet soda contains no calories.

        You stick to knitting, I’ll stick to medicine. Adipose tissue collects around the major organs, you may not see it on the scale, but it is there. It holds the chemicals within diet drinks, depositing in the liver.

        Laughable assertion. Adipose tissue isn't created out of thin air. Diet soda doesn't contain calories. Don't appeal to your own authority, I'm well aware how little education MD's get on nutrition science.
