"Diet" Soda

Who wants to drink some diet soda? Those who want it better ditch it! Why? Here's why:

"Recent research has shown that artificial sweeteners in soda may interfere with your body’s ability to estimate how many calories you’ve ingested, so you eat more than you need. In a new rat study, animals that ate fake sugar consumed more calories overall and gained weight, compared to those that didn’t eat artificially sweetened treats. According to the researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, the risk of becoming overweight can rise by 37 percent everytime you sip diet soda on a daily basis."

So who needs some soda? Everybody knows that soda contains a lot of sugar, and I mean A LOT! It doesn't even contain any nutrients. In short, it doesn't help us at all. If you want to stay healthy and live a long life, then you better stop drinking some pop.
