Diet Sodas Don't Help Weight Loss
According to a study conducted by
the University of Texas Health Center, using data about weight and
soft drink consumption from the 25-year "San Antonio Heart
Study", diet beverages like Diet Pepsi don't help weight reduction.
Seven years after entering the heart study, participants who drank
diet sodas were more likely to have gained weight than those who
drank regular soft drinks.
Why Don't Low Calorie Drinks Help?
Researchers don't know why low calorie
drinks like Diet Pepsi fail to help weight reduction. Possible causes
include: (1) Diet soda drinkers may not feel as satisfied as regular
soda drinkers, and may tend to eat more. (2) Diet beverages may
lead to greater fatigue and a corresponding reduction in physical
activity. (3) Diet drinkers may believe they can eat more if they
consume low-calorie soft drinks, and may underestimate the extra
food calories they eat.
