Diet Soda makes you FAT

Just like me there are people that have quit drinking coke assuming that diet coke is a great alternative, but what consumers do no is that diet coke still makes you gain weight, and this is how. Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center has should strong evidence that diet soda may make us fat. The more diet soda a person consumes the fatter they get. Researchers have concluded  those that are drinking only diet soda gained more weight than those drinking regular soda. "41% increase in risk of being overweight for every can or bottle of diet soft drink a person consumes each day" (Foodie Buzz). I think that diet soda and regular soda as a whole could be avoided. What people don't know is that when they consume diet coke, it produces gastric juice that makes us feel hungry. Another thing that consumers do not know is when we drink coke the body produces insulin to help blood flow, but when we drink diet coke there is no actual sugar that goes into the body. My opinion is that diet coke and regular coke can be replaced by other alternatives like fruit juice and water. They are getting the wrong impression that "diet" means that it is healthier than original products. So stop drinking diet coke, because you might as well be drinking regular coke.
