Are Diet Sodas Dangerous????

Friends, today I saw this on TV which was very shocking to me. I know that, sharing this information would be much helpful to people who consume sodas in huge amount. Even though  we are all health conscious, we get carried away by the advertisements from the manufacturers. One such example is diet sodas.

Everyone of us love sodas especially flavoured ones. People who really want to shed their  pounds off, tend to look for something which works for their diet. Diet sodas come in handy for them. But, do you know that the recent study shows that drinking diet soda may actually increase the risk of stroke and heart attack by 48%? It also increases the risk of metabolic syndrome, a group of symptoms that includes high levels of belly fat, blood sugar and cholesterol.

Generally we think diet soda has no calories and we can consume as much as we want. But studies have shown that when we drink any sweet beverages, it leads to sweet craving and you start looking for those calories elsewhere, resulting in consumption of more calories. It is always better to go for natural healthy alternative like lemon juice, buttermilk and fresh juices. Our body actually requires more water and milk. Because of the consumption of soda, we often forget to drink them, which results in other serious diseases. The studies are still ongoing and not proven yet.

You can view the video here for more information.


So say No to Diet Sodas from now on.
