Dietary Drinks Make People Fat

Dietary Drinks Make People Fat

A new American study presented at the American Diabetes Association says that diet drinks are associated with weight gain.

The study was conducted at the University of Texas Medical School in the United States. The researchers followed 474 individuals for 10 years. During that time, we analyzed the amount of diet drink ingested by each and made measurements of weight and waist circumference. At the end of the study, experts found that the waist of those who take two or more diet sodas per day can increase six-fold compared to non-users.

It was therefore concluded that the more a person drinks diet soda, the more it becomes fattening. Abdominal circumference, which may indicate a propensity for heart disease or not, was also 70% higher. Studies such as these show that diet soda is not as good for health as the advertisement suggests.
