It might, however, have some effect on appetite. Larger epidemiological studies show that regular diet soda drinkers gain more weight than non soda drinkers. One hypothesis is that diet sodas increase appetite and keep the palate accustomed to ridiculously sweet foods (basically sugar tooth). Of course then you have smaller clinical studies which show the opposite and the diet soda drinkers actually lost more weight. That study took 300 obese people and had 150 of them drink at least 24 oz of diet soda and the other 150 no soda and at least 24 oz of water. The diet soda group lost more weight than the water group; hypothesis, diet soda was an appetite suppressant. In other words nobody knows. It might increase your appetite or it might decrease your appetite.
It's irrelevant to me. I don't like soda that much anyway and I really don't like diet soda as they taste funny. If I had to have one, I'd probably go with diet soda. There's a primary advantage (less calories, sugars) that's straight forward and obvious. I doubt the secondary effect on appetite, if it even exists, outweighs the primary advantage of less calories. Better yet, have neither.
I know the jury is out with how diet sodas effect people as their is no concrete evidence to support their harm. However if you are going to site references could you not do it from a website that sells stuff? At least post a study from an accredited source.

Or you could just stop being intellectually lazy and accept that;
- Examine.com doesn't sell anything except information (the same way PubMed and Medline act as a paywall for some works)
- Examine.com is universally regarded as a credible source
- That the exact page I gave you included citations of seven peer reviewed studies, with links included
