I wonder if the diet soda studies are related to this?

For instance, diet Coke intake is supposed to correlate with very bad health outcomes.

Edit: downvoted for a question in a Science community? Do better, people.

Could it be that people who are already predisposed to getting overweight try to avoid it by diet drinks, but fail because it's genetics and they take more calories on average? Correlation=/=Causation?
