While health officials have been scolding us for drinking regular soda because of all the calories and sugar, they are now also upset about all the terrible things that drinking diet soda does to us. We just can’t win.
Here’s a rundown of the side effects of drinking diet soda:
- Kidney Problems – Kidney function starts to decline when you drink more than two sodas a day.
- Messed-Up Metabolism – Studies have shown that even one diet soda a day is linked to a 34 percent higher risk of increased belly fat and high cholesterol.
- Obesity – Amazingly, diet soda stops you from losing weight because the artificial sweeteners disrupt your body's natural ability to regulate calorie intake.
- Rotting Teeth – Diet soda is very acidic, causing soda drinkers to have more decay, missing teeth and fillings. (MSN.com)
