Sodium-free soft drink does not help maintain weight, says research

Sodium-free soft drink does not help maintain weight, says research

light "or" zero "receive artificial sweeteners instead of sugar and consume serve as an alternative for those who want to maintain health and weight, but researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP), the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel) and the Imperial College London claims that sugar-free soda offers no advantage compared to the normal version of the drink.

The researchers looked at the impacts of beverages, such as soft drinks, juices and iced teas, on weight gain and obesity. No evidence has been found that artificially sweetened beverages would be healthier, and the effects of these products on long-term health are unknown.

Through a review of previous studies, the researchers caution that the lack of information on diet drinks may be the result of large-scale marketing strategies that induce the consumer to ingest these products.

Diet drinks account for 1/4 of the overall consumption of sweet drinks, but they are not assessed with the same rigidity as drinks with sugar. Although it contains few calories, this type of beverage can trigger compensatory consumption of food by stimulating the sweet taste receptors.

According to researcher Maria Carolina Borges, UFPel, the lack of scientific evidence on the advantage of diet drinks should be taken into account when deciding to consume "zero" refrigerants instead of normal refrigerants.

In addition to health damage, scientists also reveal the environmental effects of products such as up to 300 liters of water required for the production of a 0.5 liter plastic bottle.
