More evidence that diet soda contributes to weight gain, not weight loss

A new study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that people who drank diet soda gained almost triple the abdominal fat over nine years as those who didn’t drink diet soda. The study analyzed data from 749 people.

People who didn’t drink diet soda gained about 0.8 inches. around their waists over the study period, but people who drank diet soda daily gained 3.2 inches. Those who fell in the middle — occasional drinkers of diet soda — gained about 1.8 in.

The belly is a bad place for extra kilos - it increases chances of heart disorders and Type 2 diabetes by many times.

These results, which the study authors call “striking,” add to the growing body of evidence that no- and low-calorie sweeteners may come with health concerns.
Sugar-free sodas contain substances that sweeten up soda at 200-600 times the sweetness of sugar.

The reason to this gain has been said to be - “Your body is used to knowing that a sweet taste means you are ingesting energy in the form of calories that, if you don’t burn them off, is going to convert to fat,”. Artificial sweeteners, however, confuse our bodies and weaken the link in our brains between sweetness and calories. That can lead to weight gain and cravings for sweeter and sweeter treats.

A recent study in mice showed that artificial sweeteners actually changed the gut bacteria of mice in ways that made them vulnerable to insulin resistance and glucose intolerance — both of which can lead to weight gain. And other mice research suggests that artificial sweeteners are associated with a drop in the appetite-regulating hormone leptin, Hazuda says. Leptin is the hormone that inhibits hunger.
