Diet Soda: Pancreatic Cancer?

Does diet soda give you pancreatic cancer ?
Yesterday I went to see my personal trainer and he said diet soda like diet coke is bad because of all the artificial nutrients. He also said it can intoxicate you and provoke a disease like pancreatic cancer.
After having dinner i like to drink diet soda because I always thought it is good for reducing weight.

Too much sugar can cause obesity, but pancreatic cancer? Is it so bad?
Once in a while I like a diet coke, a diet sprite or some lemon lime soda and sprite and 7 up.
Is it does give you cancer then I'll stop drinking them.

All soda is a ticket to weight problems.
People who consume two or more sugary drinks of diet soda a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer, according to researchers.
There is a study, which was funded by the National Cancer Institute and published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, that tracked 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study over the course of 14 years and found that those who consumed diet soda increased their risk of contracting pancreatic cancer by 87 percent.

Mothers have warned for decades that drinking too much soda might cause cavities, but now the problem is more serious.
My doctor says diet coke is specially dangerous and can give you even more problems than pancreatic cancer. He says it is absolutely bad for your health to drink diet coke on a daily basis.
People who drink two or more sodas each week can increase their risk of pancreatic cancer almost two-fold.

The study that you are referring to, Marley, did not cite diet soda but regular soda. The study did not look at consumption of diet soda; soft drinks were defined as "sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages."
