</P><BLOCKQUOTE>The study of more than 600 normal-weight people found, eight years later, that they were 65 percent more likely to be overweight if they drank one diet soda a day than if they drank none. And if they drank two or more diet sodas a day, they were even more likely to become overweight or obese.</BLOCKQUOTE><P>To the astonishment of many, it seems that those who drank diet soda had a greater chance of becoming overweight than did those who drank regular, full-calorie soda.</p> <P>By no means does this state that diet soda causes obesity - but there is a strange pattern at play here. Diet Soda has <EM>zero</EM> calories so what gives?
</P><BLOCKQUOTE>One possibility: A person who drinks a diet soda may feel it's OK to make up for those calories with another high-calorie food.</BLOCKQUOTE>
Do those artificial sweeteners make you crave the real thing?
