Thanks for posting this, it confirms what I already knew - my years and years of drinking at least 2 litres of diet coke a day messed up my metabolism and gave me a good push towards developing diabetes.
Many years back I was on holiday in Rome with my family. We went on a coach tour and the tour guide had a dry sense of humour. He said 'There's coke or diet coke. Now why is it that only fat people drink diet coke. I think it must make you fat, yes?' How right he was.

It seems to me that modern science has messed with us big-time.
Before science (BS) was 'invented' there was food and common sense. After scienctific supposition (ASS) came stuff that was passed off as food but was doing more harm than good. Common sense packed its bags and left....
I really don't know how the World managed to continue turning before science.
We are told modern science has done a lot of good - but is it a double-edged sword also leaving a lot of harm in its wake?
They know not what they do....

We need to advance but at what cost? I believe the balance of nature needs to be maintained, in an ideal world we should work in harmony, but we left that path sometime ago and I think it's more than a little out of kilter at the moment ! Does nature win in the end? We'll see .....
All the best Jan

Nature only wins Jan, when humans leave well alone.
Meddling never improves anything. You can't improve on perfection.
We are not nearly as intelligent or clever as we think we are. Sadly, there is already permanent damage, not only to ourselves, but also to our beautiful planet that man will never be able to undo.
