Put that diet coke down, it could lead to a heart attack!
Hello and welcome back to Inform Overload I am your cover host for the video, Rebecca
Felgate and today I am talking about bad vibes from diet food and drinks.
Oh!
Before we get into this story let me know if you drink coke, diet coke, coke zero…that
slightly healthier green one…vanilla coke..cherry coke… like…are there too many cokes?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below and also do likes this
video and share it with a friend who needs to know about diet coke!
While you are down there please check out our description box which has links to the
creative team behind this video and also has a link to the story source for this video.
SO it seems that diet coke isn’t the answer after all.
While a regular can of coca cola has 39 grams of sugar and can lead to diabetes, heart disease
and obesity, and rot your dental enamel, it seems that diet coke isn’t much better.
A major study by the American Heart Association AND the American Stroke Association found
that people who drank diet soda were at a greater risk of stokes, dementia, heart attacks
and diabetes.
The study tested over 80 thousand women between the ages of 50 to 79 and it found that the
more senior ladies were 29 percent more likely to develop heart disease, 31 percent more
likely to have a stroke, and 16 percent more likely to die from any other cause than women
who drank two artificially sweetened diet beverages a day than those who didn’t.
The risks were even more dramatically increased for African American women.
That being said, the study from which they are now drawing the data came from the mid
1990s so is now around 25 years old… at that time they didn’t test for specifics
In the sweeteners so it is hard to know which of the artificial sweeteners are harmful and
which aren’t.
More recent studies have also drawn a link between people over the age of 60 who drink
diet sodas and strokes and dementia.
Again though…I want to stress that normal coke isn’t a healthier option and comes
with the same risk.
I suppose the reason diet soda is being called out is because people think it is a safer
option for your health than regular sodas.
People turn to diet options to help them lose weight but studies have shown that actually
diet soda drinkers can add inches to their waists.
It seems that the diet sodas encourage sugar cravings so it isn’t the soda itself adding
the weight, but still… not great.
At the moment further studies are being conducted into whether or not diet sodas slow the metabolism.
Scientists are looking at a link between artificial sweeteners and their effect on how the body
processes fats and energy.
The other HUGE issue with diet sodas are that some of their ingredients such as aspartame
and saccharin are linked to cancers.
The study comes following the reveal that Americans are guzzling more diet soda than
ever.
Bro bible says 3 billion gallons, but they don’t say if that is a day, week, month,
year or what?
I guess the issue is that actually drinking anything with fake sweetners and added sugars
just isn’t good for you.
The best drink is water as we know but even if people did want soda, diet or otherwise,
there is no need to be swilling back more than one or two a week!
They aren’t even hydrating – studies show sodas can actually dehydrate you…so like…whats
the point?
So…scary stuff about diet soda!
Do you guys drink it ? What type of coke do you drink and how often?
