I was just wondering if Diet Cokes really affect the weight of a person. I have read an article about this and it says "In spite of their popularity, artificial sweeteners don’t contribute to weight loss. None of the popular sweeteners really satisfies our sweet tooth, they don’t help us lose weight. They also lack the bulk and the browning potential of sugar. -WEIDER I just had a hard time understanding the point of drinking Diet Cokes if it won't lessen your weight anyway. I hope that you could further explain this and please reply as soon as you can. I really need this for my research subject. Thank you very much!
