Is there a Republican conspiracy connected with diet soda?

[MrFun]

First, awhile ago, someone claimed that drinking too much diet soda can cause cancer if it has the wrong type of artificial sweetner.


Now recently, I have heard from someone else, that drinking diet soda will STILL result in future weight gain. This was after I told the guy that I drink diet soda about once a day to minimize future weight gain.


I'm going to blame Bush for any problems I get from drinking diet soda.

There's a Republican conspiracy behind this, I swear -- they got FBI statistics that show that more liberals than conservatives drink diet soda, so they mastermind a scheme where liberals will get cancer and become overweight from drinking the stuff.

Why blame Bush?? History shows that diet soda was invented during the Dark Ages of the Nixon Administration.

Just shake your head and move along, guys.

ZKrib didn't get the memo, poor soul

There was a memo?

Yes, and don't tell me you were in the bathroom when it was passed out; that only works for Kuciwalker.

If you lose pounds while drinking the stuff, how do you gain pounds while drinking the same stuff?

I don't think that -- and maybe Zk mistyped or something.


What I thought was that if you drink diet soda rather than regular soda, you won't gain nearly as much weight in comparison -- not that you will LOSE weight.

ah ok.

I'm sorry.
