We all have the belief that drinking
diet soda controls the level of sugar we take which also helps in weight
reduction right? But here is what you don’t know about diet soda. Researchers
have found out that there is nothing healthy about drinking diet sodas. Sodas
are produced with aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose. But most of the diet sodas contain aspartame
which when consumed breaks down in our body system to a wood alcohol
poison(methanol)which converts to formaldehyde with heat above 86 degrees f,and
the temperature in the human body is 98.6 degree f. These chemicals have the
ability to cause severe damage to DNA. Artificial sweeteners have more intense
flavor than real sugar and have the same effect on your body as sugar.
Problems arising from
diet soda consumption
1) Heart problems:
Consumption of a regular soda a day could lead to your risk of having a stroke
or heart attack
2) Headache:
Aspartame as an artificial sweetener triggers headaches.
3) No nutritional value: Sodas have no nutritional value.
4) Increases the rate of diabetes.
5) Weight gain:
Contrary to what is hyped that sodas helps in weight reduction, diet sodas
actually helps you gain weight. Diet soda is calorie-free, but it won't
necessarily help you lose weight. The artificial sweetners are used to confuse
your body system when in fact you are gaining weight and not losing any. These
sweeteners trigger insulin, which sends your body into fat storage mode which
then leads to gaining of weight.
6) The acid in diet sodas gradually
dissolves the teeth leading to worse dental health.
