Newsflash: Diet drinks are bad for you, no wait, they're ok, no wait, it's all pop, no wait...

The Toronto Star reports that diet drinks are linked to increased health risks such as heart attack. The article waits until the last few paragraphs to state that the study they cited doesn't prove that diet drinks have anything to do with these risks; it's actually far more likely that people who drink diet pop are also people who otherwise eat badly. So the conclusion is: we don't know why, but people who drink any pop, diet or otherwise, are at higher risk of heart attack and other health problems.
