Here's another study on diet soda drinkers actually gaining weight which would seem impossible since artificial sweeteners contain no calories.
Quote:
Researchers trying to figure out whether artificial sweeteners really do make people fat think they?ve found a possible explanation ? they may disrupt the bacteria in some people?s bodies.
Their findings may shed light on why studies often contradict one another, with some finding that people who drink lots of diet drinks are more likely to be obese, with others finding they may help people keep weight off.

What the study found is that artificial sweeteners caused changes in the gut bacteria and metabolism.
The human microbiome is becoming a hot area of research for many diseases/disorders including obesity.
Obese people should drink water, how frustrating it must be to restrict yourself to 1200 calories a day but you can't lose weight because that zero calorie soft drink is fucking up your metabolism.
