Avoid these and decrease your blood sugar levels and waist size!!  Why diet soda and artificial sweeteners make you gain weight.

Two recent studies suggest that diet soda once thought to be a healthy alternative to help reduce weight is really increasing weight!!

Yes!  Drinking diet soda increases waist circumference in humans. Another study on mice showed how aspartame(a poision) raised blood sugar levels.  These studies were performed by Epidemiologists at the University of Texas School of Medicine in San Antonio. 

What does this data suggest?  "Diet soda and artificial sweeteners are not a healthy alternative."  They may be free of calories but not of consequences," said Helen P. Hazuda, Ph.D., professor and chief of the Division of Clinical Epidemiology in the School of Medicine.

Researched showed how people that drink diet soda, experienced a 70% greater increase in their waste line compared with non diet drink users.  Hint! 

Even more disturbing were those that drank more than two diet sodas daily.  They experienced a waiste line increase 500% greater than non-diet soda drinkers.  

Aspartame the artificial sweetener used in most diet drinks has been shown to decrease beta cell function in the pancreas.  Studies performed on mice showed elevated fasting glucose levels but diminished insulin levels consistent with a decrease beta cell function in the pancreas.  

Not only may diet drinks be linked to weight gain and waist circumference gain, but diabetes.  Which of course lead to a host of chronic diseases such as heart disease.
