>whatever sugary things you eat, you will eat more than you otherwise would without feeling satiated

There is no scientific merit to this frequent claim. [1]

In fact, a comparative study on dieters using diet soda versus water shown that the water group lost less mass, hypothetically because they were feeling hungrier and less satisfied with their diet, thus more likely to succumb to sugary foods.

Huh. I made the claim based on having seen it in many places. But Google showed it to be less certain than my memory said it was.

Thanks for the correction. I'll try not to repeat this one blindly in the future.
