According to new research, your risk of gaining weight and developing diabetes increases if you partake in one soft drink per day, regardless of whether it is a regular soda or a diet soda. The Boston University study tracked the health of 6,000 middle-aged Americans over a four-year period and found that people who drank one soda a day were more likely to become unhealthy and get fat. Both groups of soda drinkers, diet versus regular, had the same increases 31-percent chance of becoming obese. Both groups also had a 44-percent higher chance of developing risk factors for diabetes and heart disease.

Now I heard that a study showed how diet drinks can actually keep weight on people - they think they can splurge because of the 0 calories for the soda!! Something to think about!! Sissy
