Diet Soda Weight Gain and Health Problems. Better Drinks.

07 Nov 2017

Description

Diet soda with artificial sweeteners and a bunch of chemicals in it - no, it is not healthy, and yes, you might gain weight. Weight gain is to a bigger degree the result of hormonal imbalances and issues with metabolism and your gut bacteria. Calories play a minor role. Plus a lot of "zero-calorie" drinks in reality have some calories that they don't have to claim due to FDA standards or the substances in the drinks are broken down by your body into caloric substances. The studies on both questions in humans, weight gain and health problems and diet soda consumption, are not conclusive, but in rats studies, there was a definite correlation between artificial additives in diet sodas and weight gain/health problems (even though the mechanism is still not clear) - diet sodas consumption negatively affects your metabolism, making you more prone to gaining weight, changing your hormones in unfavorable way, increasing inflammation, negatively affecting your gut microbiome, increasing cravings and appetite, increases your chances of getting a stroke, dementia, tumors of all kinds. Sodas are definitely not a healthy drink. Questions? Want me to talk about your confusions?
