Sugar-free soft drinks are not harmful to health (post#2)

I know this article is not a testing article but I found this subject is very interesting for everyone so I want to talk about that. More it’s an important fact of life that one must be aware of. 


Since the population is more concerned with their health and knows more about the dangers of certain products, food industries benefit greatly by offering thousands of supposedly diets products, that is to say calorie-free. This is the case of diet soft drinks like Pepsi, Cola, Coca-Cola, Coke, 7Up, etc. 


By cons, new products are unhealthy and are not better than regular soft drinks.  Several studies have been conducted to prove problems caused by these products. So don’t believe that «fat-free» and «diet» are synonymous of health.  Of course, the soft drink companies do not speak of these studies, which may affect their image and their profits. They rely instead on advertising to make you forget what you drink.  They showed thin people who drink the product; put a lot of colors, a great atmosphere, all to make you crack.

Many news studies want to prove that artificial sweeteners are bad "interpreted’’ by our brain which causes sugar cravings. So after drinking a can of pop, we want to eat something that contains real sugar. This subsequently increases the problems of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. However, the shelves of grocery stores are filled with varieties of diet. These seemingly "healthy" drinks are full of potentially harmful chemicals and are unfortunately still as popular to the public. The chemicals are artificial sweeteners such as aspartame.
 

In conclusion, if you are a heavy drinker of soft drinks, beware of labels and learn about the product you use because it’s very important for your health. It’s better to change your lifestyle than being sick. 


Here is an interesting article about these drinks so-called "sugar free"



It’s about a girl who found that diet soft drinks in a restaurant are not really without sugar.  She realized than after have drunk a diet soft drink her blood sugar was high. She talks about her experience and what she did after she found that. This article has been written to educate people about possible situations like this one and to warm against the ads for these products.
