A better way is pure water and unsweet teas. There are many varieties. Move more and exercise. Plan meals and snacks ahead and take my own lunch. Always plan meals at home and away.

The other thing I'd like to point out is that regular (non-diet) soda didn't correlate with increased risk of MetSyn. Weird huh? Agreed, primalman08.

I think that it is classic, spurious correlation. Those that choose fast food and/or processed foods are much more likely to wash it down with a diet soda. I have never seen someone eat fast food and compliment it with a fine wine. The high sodium content in processed foods go great with a sweet beverage. I have a problem with how correlational research is reported in the media, because the average "Joe" does not understand the difference between correlation and causation. “I will have the #1 meal deal with the Big Mac, Fries and a Diet Coke.”
