the article does not say "diet sodas will make you fat" it says "Calorie-Free Soft Drinks May Make You Fat". They showed nothing to suggest a cause and effect relationship. All they suggested was that people who drink diet soft drinks are most likely to not lose fat or to gain fat. Go into any McDonalds and watch the herd eating their 1500 calorie lunch with a diet coke and its pretty easy to understand that finding. Forgetting about anyones psuedo-science and conspiracy theories about nutrasweet or anything else, people rationalize eating more and eating worse by drinking diet soda.
