That's about what I had originally read, except I had read it at Mark's Daily Apple;

but I'm new at this, so I thought maybe one of the above posters had heard something different, and originally I had thought that moarbacon was referring to something else about diet coke that would or might cause the OP's 'turtle effect'. For the record, I believe my consumption of Diet Coke et al is causing my teeth to rot, so I'm still trying to limit it and eventually cut it out completely.
