this is exactly what is happening. the calories avoided by a good part of the people in any study like these are drinking diet soft drinks to compensate for over eating in general as well as eating sugars from starches throughout the day instead. Which is completely counter productive. The real problem is the over consumption of sugars and starches, but those don't get the headlines enough.
The only negative thing that happens with diet soda consumption is it has almost no affect on satiating people, if anything it makes them more hungry. This does not equate to a cause of the disease though as you could say the same with drinking water.
