Causation or corrolation?

I heard about a couple of studies recently but they were all corrolative. Just this week NPR reported on one that associated diet soda with metabolic syndrome and very carefully pointed out it was a corrolation; causation was unproven. (I didn't hear the whole report so no citation.)
