Is Diet Soda Fattening?

Diet soda doesn’t help you lose weight after all. A University of Texas Health Science
Center study found that the more diet sodas a person drank, the greater their
risk of becoming overweight. Downing just two or more cans a day increased
waistlines by 500%. Why? Artificial
sweeteners can disrupt the body’s natural ability to regulate calorie intake
based on the sweetness of foods, suggested an animal study from Purdue
University. That means people who consume diet foods might be more likely
to overeat, because your body is being tricked into thinking it’s eating sugar,
and you crave more.
