Claimed to be sugar-free, the carbonated beverages — diet sodas - though sound healthy and considered a ‘pleasure drink’ for an obese, are generally marketed just to fool the health-conscious people.
It was in 2005, the diet sodas were proved by a San Antonio’s University of Texas Health Science Center study, as drinks that don’t actually help lose weight! The study concluded it to be a ‘weight-gainer’.
But, the claim could not dampen the health-conscious soda lovers demand for it and they continue to be in the market shelves.
It is recently being found that, besides increasing a person’s weight like any other normal sodas, more of the diet sodas-consumption may also risk one’s heart the same way as it does when downed with the sugary regular soda!
This is disastrous for an already heart patient, who consumes the diet sodas blindly, without any restrictions. Though, the diet sodas’ being the culprit behind developing a heart disease is not shown, a strong link between the two is been seen.
The study is sure to kick up controversies until further studies are made into it, as the finding’s establishment would be a big blow for the billion-dollar industry’ both reputation and economy.
