Read on for her report on three shocking soda facts that will have you saying “Just water, please” from now on.
Shocking Soda Fact #1: Soda fattens up your organs
A recent Danish study revealed that drinking non-diet soda leads to dramatic increases in dangerous hard-to-detect fats. Researchers asked participants to drink either regular soda, milk containing the same amount of calories as regular soda, diet cola, or water every day for six months. The results? Total fat mass remained the same across all beverage-consuming groups, but regular-soda drinkers experienced dramatic increases in harmful hidden fats, including liver fat and skeletal fat. The regular-soda group also experienced an 11 percent increase in cholesterol compared to the other groups!
And don’t think switching to diet varieties will save you from harm: Artificial sweeteners and food dyes have been linked to
brain cell damage and hyperactivity, and research has shown that people who drink diet soda have a higher risk of developing
diabetes.
