Diet pop/soda?!
Question: I have been told that diet sodas can actually make you "fatter" then the regular sodas. Is this true? I know that the artificial sweeteners in diet pops can cause you to crave other sweet things...which will obviously cause you to gain weight...but does the diet soda ITSELF cause you to gain weight?

It's true that yes any soda will make you gain weight, however if you enjoy drinking soda, Diet is the best way to go. Be sure thought that the diet soda does not have Nutrasweet in it. That has been now know to cause weight gain, even though it's suppose to be a sugar substute.
no it has 0 calories
no, its a bunch of hogwash. you cant gain weight from calories you dont take in. and they try to twist the truth around so much, i guess cause they need some space to fill up in their news articles. however, someone could gain weight because they feel like they can eat even more and do since they did good about having a diet soda and not a regular. one. in and of itself no you can't.
Nope - the health risks are associated with the chemical, non-natural make up of the drinks. Your body requires water to burn fat, drinking diet soda replaces water you would've drank in addition to having caffeine, a diuretic. However, the drink itself can not make you gain weight. My mom has a Diet Coke and salad for lunch everyday and she ways less than a 6th grader.
I'd say a glass of 100% cranberry juice that has 120 calories would contribute to a better physique than a diet cola with 0 calories.
