9. I've been drinking diet soda since I was a kid

and I've never been overweight. These days I drink more seltzer, but if I have soda I still drink diet because I think the regular soda tastes too sweet. I'd only drink something like diet coke, pepsi, dr. pepper or moxie. I can't stand any of the fruity flavored sodas or mtn dew. Anyhow, just saying it drinking diet soda doesn't necessarily make you fatter. Perhaps they key thing is not drinking a whole lot of the stuff, because I don't. I probably have one diet soda drink every couple of weeks of so.
