Study: Diet Soda Doesn’t Keep People Skinny
WRAL.com - Health Team - Study: Diet Soda Doesn’t Keep People Skinny:
“Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio analyzed patient information spanning 26 years. They found that those who drink diet sodas were more likely to become overweight. The risk of being overweight or obese increased 65 percent more with each diet drink per day.”
I really wish they had included references to the actual study. That paragraph makes the article sound like it’s full of crap. It seems perfectly reasonable that there would be a correlation between overweight and drinking diet. If you’re not overweight and you drink pop you have no reason to pick the diet over non-diet. How, exactly, did they prove that drinking diet caused people to become overweight, though?
