Group Wants to Ban the Word Diet From Diet Sodas

[mozart123]

A consumer-advocacy group is calling today for federal regulatory agencies to investigate the use of the word diet by diet-soda manufacturers, calling the adjective “deceptive, false and misleading” and citing research that finds diet soda may actually lead to weight gain instead of weight loss.

I think it's not much of an issue now that the major soda manufacturers use non-diet branding in their sucralose/aspartame sweetened sodas (pepsi max/light, coke zero/light).

It's just basically a marketing problem.
