Drink Diet Soda and get metabolic syndrome

I real articles from Dr. Dharma daily and he has very interesting articles about healthy living.

There is an obesity rate of 60% and an insomnia rate of 60%. Crazy? Don't you think?

Diet Soda is so bad for your health.

Why?

There is a recent study showing that drinking only 1 Diet Coke a day raises your risk of developing the feared metabolic syndrome by 48%.


So what's metabolic syndrome again?

It's the potentially lethal combination of an increasing waist size, heart disease, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol and blood pressure.

The metabolic syndrome has become increasingly common in the United States. It’s estimated that over 50 million Americans have it.

Plus Diet Soda has a lot of artificial sweetener in it, which studies reveal can cause anything from seizers and ADD to perhaps bladder cancer depending on the sweetener.

People are attracted to Diet Coke because it satisfies their sweet
tooth but some studies show that they actually increase your consumption of sugar. Moreover, there is no evidence that you lose weight when you drink them.

Further studies point to Diet Coke causing an increased acid load on your body, which can lead to a decrease in your bone health and damage your skeleton.

And what about all that the caffeine?

It leads to withdrawal symptoms and a disruption in sleep patterns including insomnia, restlessness, feeling wired, anxious, and irritable.

Can you guess what the Coca Cola Company said? "Diet Coke is good for you. It's low in calories and keeps you hydrated."

Wrong!

If you want to lose weight, you better leave diet soda.
