Sorry I don't have any studies handy, but here is what I believe.
Artificial sugars might be bad for you.
Drinking diet sodas just feeds your craving for sugar/sweets.
I think many obese people are sugar adicts.
Most overweight people drink tons of diet drinks. Yes it is anecdotal, but it really turns me off. Whenever I see diet drinks, I think of a fat person with a diet coke in their hand. Hence, I have this imagery that really turns me off to diet drinks. Show me an obese person who does not drink diet soda, and I will show you a person who is loosing weight.
While they might not be that bad for you, I dont think you will find anyone that says diet sodas are good for you.
