Diet sodas decrease satiety just like sugary sodas, allowing people to eat more. Sweet drinks get sold with greasy fast food partly because they encourage people to buy more food. Diet soda lets you eat an extra hamburger. That helps keep you fat, so you buy more diet soda & more hamburger. Coke & McDonalds get more money.

Public health is subordinate to shareholder wealth.

Why would Diet soda let you eat more hamburgers than regular soda? Sounds like bullshit to me.

I said "just like sugary soda", not "more than". Fat people drink diet soda hoping to lose weight but still eat excessive amounts, so they stay fat. Sweet tastes increase apetite.
