Diet soft drinks and diabetes

[Guest guest]

This measure of belly fat is directly related to risk of diabetes. You

might want to find other sources of flavored drinks. I have posted before

about how aspartame reduces a hormone vital to insulin production while the

sweetener in splenda does not and might in fact increase it.

Epidemiologists from the School of Medicine at The University of Texas

Health Science Center San reported data showing that diet soft

drink consumption is associated with increased waist circumference in

humans, and a second study that found aspartame raised fasting glucose

(blood sugar) in diabetes-prone mice.

Diet soft drink users, as a group, experienced 70 percent greater increases

in waist circumference compared with non-users. Frequent users, who said

they consumed two or more diet sodas a day, experienced waist circumference

increases that were 500 percent greater than those of non-users.
