Did you know diet cola will actually help you get fatter IRL? I forget specifically how it does it, but basically, it tricks the body into storing fat, or something like that. Of course, it also contains aspartame, which is a known neurotoxin who's symptoms are similar to multiple sclerosis, so if anyone feels like adding pounds, I'd suggest you avoid it... THE MORE YOU KNOWWW! *ting*
Not to start a whole thing, but many of the claims about artificial sweeteners are unfounded. Some people experience negative side effects, including headaches, from artificial sweeteners like Aspartame, but I guess they could be better described as an intolerance shared by some people than a negative health effect of the chemical itself. I have heard claimed that one of the more consistent negative effects of artificial sweetener is that it leaves you craving more food, and more sweet foods. So while the diet soda itself has fewer calories, you end up consuming more from the other foods without realizing it. I imagine this is why some studies can show that it actually causes you to gain weight, while other studies show the "desired" effect.
