I'm not saying it true, but many smart people are saying it.
I wouldn't really blame her if it's true.

http://time.com/3746047/diet-soda-weight-gain/
...2015 study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that people who drank diet soda gained almost triple the abdominal fat over nine years as those who didnt drink diet soda...
...even after the researchers adjusted for factors like diabetes, smoking and levels of physical activity. People who didnt drink diet soda gained about 0.8 in. around their waists over the study period, but people who drank diet soda daily gained 3.2 in. Those who fell in the middle occasional drinkers of diet soda gained about 1.8 in.
...some experts believe that artificial sweeteners trigger sweetness receptors in the brain, which cause the body to prepare itself for an influx of calories. Even though those calories don't arrive, the body still craves them, and that may cause people to ultimately eat more calories overall, putting them at a risk for weight gain.
