Nor are the drinkers of diet soda. Forty years ago, when diet soda first
came out (I remember the Fresca and Tab - still avialable if you look),
I think around 35 years ago, I don't think that many people drank it. It
was definitely more popular twenty years ago. I remember drinking lots
of Diet Coke in college and grad school. But, I think 30 or 40 years
ago, diet soda tended by drunk by people who were already overweight and
trying to lose weight or those who were weight conscious (and thin) not
trying to gain weight.

Since then, diet sodas have moved more into the mainstream.

If the data are too old, or if there needs to be refinement in the
method, perhaps now is the time to initiate a new study.... As I said,
it could be valuable, if only it points the way to future research.
