Yes they are: Women who drink 12 oz. Diet soda have a 33% increased risk of type 2 diabetes & those who dink 20 oz. Have 66% increased risk! they cause increased Insulin release, slow metabolism & cause cravings for carbs. Studies show diet sodas are even more unhealthy than sodas with sugar, which are also really unhealthy. Avoid both! http://www.Huffingtonpost.Com/dr-mark-hyman/diet-soda-health_b_2698494.Html.
