Processed, chemical-loaded, shit foods are unhealthy and kill you. In other news, water is wet and the sun is hot.
The very fact that articles like this get posted, and people legitimately take them seriously, show exactly why fats are fats. Because they're so fucking stupid, they can't even comprehend a basic food pyramid.

I will admit to drinking diet soda... the fats I know drink the real Beetus Juice. This study seems pretty worthless to me without more specific info on the correlation with the various artificial sweeteners.
Also from the article (regarding Beetus Juice): "In our first study we found that those who more frequently consume sugary beverages such as fruit juices and sodas had greater evidence of accelerated brain aging such as overall smaller brain volumes, they had poorer memory function and they also had smaller hippocampus, which is an area of the brain important for memory consolidation,"

You can often see fats carrying around 2L bottles of Beetus Juice, guzzling it down.

Fats are more likely to have brain problems so i wonder if it's fats with health problems drinking diet soda rather than diet soda causing problems. They controlled for calories but i wonder if that included weight.

So sick of idiots shitting on sweeteners, this shit article contradicts itself with one fucking sentence.
"While the findings do not prove that diet drinks damage brains, they support other studies that show people who drink them frequently tend to have poorer health."
Diet soda doesn't cause brain damage, but we noticed people that are fat as fuck drink it a lot and they have brain damage, it's obviously not the fat, its the diet soda. Retards

Aspartame is possibly linked to cancer and other horrible diseases. I keep my diet-soda consumption to 1 can/week.

Unless you're drinking 6 day then i actually doubt this, and even so everything in moderation. Literally in the article it says "While the findings do not prove that diet drinks damage brains, they support other studies that show people who drink them frequently tend to have poorer health." Hams always try to cut corners and prove that they're "not that bad" so i'm unsurprised at those findings. I have a feeling that fats will try and use this as an excuse to drink the overly unhealthy other version.

The article is click bait, like you said it contradicts itself. I think it's more to do with Hams using diet soda as an excuse to eat more crap. Like "hey, it's ok to eat two large pizzas to myself because I'm washing it down with diet soda". Hence the higher cancer rate and general shit health.
