"Higher risk" doesn't equal "causes"

Basically saying that lots of "unhealthy" people drink diet sodas. Tell us something we don't know. Many overweight

The mean BMI in the study was 27-28.

Which is likely related to the age of the participants all over 45.

I'm good to go - I drink a ton of water. Sure it's flavored with Dr Pepper syrup, but it's still water as far as I know.

The amount of ignorance found here on CB is astounding. I find it fascinating.

Not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with the OP who appears to be questioning the study...

The OP is just saying he really hopes the study doesn't hold up. That's all.

Nope, you are ignorant. It's been said so on CB, two posts up. You are forever
