Pointless scaremongering

You might see headlines over the next couple days like this:

Heart risk of diet soda found equal

The title is misleading, because at most, the study cited in the article found a correlation, not a causation between diet soda and heart disease. What also is misleading, is that the study only looked at soda consumption and didn’t correct for other lifestyle choices. All you can draw from this conclusion, in my opinion, is that diets soda alone is not enough of a lifestyle change to have an effect.

Hell Food, while preferring that people drink water when thirsty, still considers diet soda to be a viable alternative to regular soda as part of an overall healthy lifestyle.
