HoustonChronicle.com - Diet drinks won’t provide weight-gain shield:
“‘I want to be very clear,’ said the study’s lead author, Sharon Fowler, an associate faculty member at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, ‘Our findings do not prove that diet soft drinks cause people to gain weight.’”
Seems that that article is, at least, closer to the source of the actual research. That quote kind of sums up what I expected to hear. So it’s just correlation, and the other article was most likely just crap.
Duh, fat people drink diet. This article doesn’t talk about how much weight people gained, when they started drinking diet, yadda, yadda. I hope the actual study covered that stuff. Otherwise what’s the point? How do you know if someone gained 20 pounds in 2 years, started drinking diet and only lost 10 pounds in the last 6 years?
