Diet Soda causes depression, anxiety, MS, eating disorders.
How many of you are sitting there with a can, bottle, or worse, a jug of diet coke/pepsi/drpepper sitting there in front of you?
it isnt the work, the irs, or the drugs making you anxious.
its the fucking piss that you drink.
funny how most of the diet food freaks are probably pharmeceutical drug addicts as well...well..not funny really.

Each Daily Soda Increases Obesity Risk 60%
For every soft drink or sugar-sweetened beverage a child drinks every day, their obesity risk appears to jump 60%.
About 65% of adolescent girls and 74% of adolescent boys consume soft drinks daily.
Currently, soft drinks constitute the leading source of added sugars in the diet, amounting to 36.2 grams daily for adolescent girls and 57.7 grams for boys.
The study included over 500 schoolchildren of various ethnic backgrounds who were aged 11 and 12. The investigators found that for every can or glass of sugar-sweetened beverage a child drank during the 19-month study, a child's body mass index -- a measure of weight related to height -- and their chance of becoming obese increased 60%.
This is the first long-term study that links soft drink consumption to obesity in children. The study received no financial support from any organization that either promotes or opposes soft drink consumption.
Obesity among US children has increased significantly since 1960 -- by 54% in children aged 6 to 11 and by 40% for adolescents, according to a report on the topic that came out late last year.
The consumption of soft drinks has increased 500% in the last 50 years, according to the US Department of Agriculture.
