Diet soda can make you fat

This just in: Diet soda can make you fat. Huh? Isn't it calorie-free? Yes, it is, but according to this, studies show that people often compensate for the lack of calories in their soda by consuming more in their food. Another theory is that artificial sweeteners in diet soda cause an increase in hunger-inducing hormones.

As for me, I've never liked soda, diet or regular, and I'm glad I don't because there just seems to be no end to the bad publicity it gets. How about trying a different kind of calorie-free drink that's not artificially sweetened and has proven health benefits? This magic substance is water and if you switched to it from anything else, I'm sure you'll notice some healthy changes to both your body and your mood.
