Last week Niraj Naik saw his infographic "What Happens One Hour After Drinking A Can Of Coke" turn into a viral sensation.

On August 2 he followed it up with another one - this time about drinking a can of Diet Coke - and it's being passed around, too.

Naik's first infographic attracted plenty of scrutiny from scientists who spoke to BuzzFeed. They said some of the information about drinking regular Coca-Cola was wrong, and what was true was exaggerated.

To see if the new "Diet Coke Exposed" infographic checked out, Tech Insider called up Kimber Stanhope, a nutritional biologist at the University of California Davis. And - again - it seems the new infographic deserves some skepticism.
