Most people believe that because it donesn't contain sugar, diet soda is a safe alternative to regular soda when it comes to Diabetes. Unfortunatelly, that's not the case.
In a recent study published early this year, researchers found that
consumption of Diet soda plays a key role in the development of metabolic syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes.
Researchers found that those who consumed diet soda at least daily had a 36% greater risk for metabolic syndrome and a huge 67% greater risk for the development of Type 2 diabetes.
The authors conclude that "These results corroborate findings from the ARIC [Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities] and Framingham studies and show stronger adverse associations exist between diet soda and Type 2 diabetes. Diet soda consumption, either independently or in conjunction with other dietary and lifestyle behaviors, may lead to weight gain, impaired glucose control, and eventual diabetes."
