Question
student is writing an argumentative research report to support the claim, "Regular soda is better health–wise than diet soda."
Source 1
Although regular soda contains a large amount of calories, a study recently found that losing weight is not all about the calories. In fact, the study found the opposite to be true. Although no one can argue that any amount of soda can be beneficial, it is surprising that an option with many calories can actually be more beneficial for you than an option without any calories.
Source 2
Despite diet soda potentially increasing your appetite, there is a strong correlation between consumption of sugary drinks with other unhealthy food choices. People who choose to consume sugary drinks such as regular soda often have other food choices that aren't the best. As a result, the two present compounding health issues, placing people who drink large amounts of sugary drinks at greater risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Source 3
A group of researchers have recently found that when mice are fed diet soda and regular soda, the mice on diet soda actually increased in weight. While it may be true that a mouse may experience an increase in appetite after the consumption of artificial sweeteners, humans are different in that they have the ability to regulate what it is they eat consciously, or at least much more so than mice. While any amount of soda is bad, it's too early to tell that this conclusion for mice extends to humans.
Source 4
Artificial sweeteners, as found in diet sodas, are hundreds to thousands of times sweeter than regular sugar, activating our genetically programmed preference for a sweet taste more than regular sugar. This tricks your body to produce more insulin, the fat storing hormone, which in–turn causes people to become overweight.

The sources that support the claim "Regular soda is better health-wise than diet soda" are:
A. Source 1 - This source suggests that regular soda may have benefits despite its calorie content, implying that diet soda may not be as beneficial.
D. Source 4 - This source argues that artificial sweeteners in diet soda can lead to insulin production, which may contribute to weight gain, suggesting that diet soda could be worse for health than regular soda.
Both of these sources align with the claim that regular soda may be a better health choice than diet soda.
