Mar 28, 2011 at 3:45 comment added user5341 @Monkey - gotcha. That is a valid criticism of the Q. I was merely commenting on the fact that "diet versions" has a fairly precise meaning in this context.

Mar 27, 2011 at 11:24 comment added user5341 @Monkey - see for example "DeNoon, Daniel J. Reviewed by Charlotte Grayson Mathis MD. "Drink More Diet Soda, Gain More Weight? Overweight Risk Soars 41% With Each Daily Can of Diet Soft Drink", WebMD Medical News (2005), accessed 2007-06-25" - webmd.com/diet/news/20050613/…. Sounds like there's a correlation but not a proven causation.
Mar 27, 2011 at 11:14 comment added user5341 @Monkey - "Diet sodas (also diet pop, diet, sugar-free, or light soft drinks, refreshments, or carbonated beverages) are typically sugar-free, artificially sweetened, non-alcoholic carbonated beverages generally marketed towards health-conscious people, diabetics, athletes, and other people who want to lose weight, improve physical fitness, or reduce their sugar intake" - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_soda . My understanding is that whatever sugar replcement they use isn't exactly considered very healthy, though I never bothered to find out since I hate the taste in the first place :)

Mar 27, 2011 at 3:09 comment added Miles Erickson No discussion of this subject would be complete without reference to Dr. Weston Price's 1939 book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, in which the author establishes a clear relationship between the consumption of processed foods and the prevalence of degenerative diseases (e.g. dental cavities, arthritis) that he found to be rare or nonexistent in ethnically identical populations that had not yet deviated from their traditional diets.
