Diet soft drinks can actually make people fatter, say scientists. Reaching for the Diet cola is a bad idea for those trying to cut calories - because it may make you want to eat more, according to two studies. Artificial sweeteners could be to blame, as they were shown to increase blood sugar levels over time, and researchers believe they could also actually trigger the appetite. In one study that followed nearly 500 people, those who drank any amount of the soft drinks each day had 70 per cent bigger waists after a decade than those who drank none. And those who drank two or more a day had roughly a five-fold increase - almost two inches around the girth, according to the findings presented at a diabetes conference in San Diego. Those differences were seen even after accounting for other factors such as age, education, diabetes, smoking and physical activity levels. Epidemiologist Professor Helen Hazuda said: 'If you compare people who consume no diet sodas to those who consumed any, there was a dramatic difference.' Abdominal obesity is considered particularly dangerous - linked to a host of medical problems such as diabetes, heart disease, gallbladder disease and breast cancer. The researchers wrote: 'These results suggest that, amidst the national drive to reduce consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks, policies that would promote the consumption of diet soft drinks may have unintended deleterious effects.'

In a separate study reported at the same meeting, artificial sweetener was added to the diets of mice bred to be prone to diabetes. After three months, the animals fed the artificial sweetener had higher blood sugar levels than mice not fed sweetener. Three years ago a larger study that followed almost 3,700 Americans over an eight year period found diet soft drink fans gained more weight overall than non-drinkers, with the most extra pounds seen in those who drank the most soda. Prof Hazuda added: 'Data from this and other prospective studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners as healthy alternatives may be ill advised. They may be free of calories but not of consequences.' One theory holds that the body uses taste to regulate hunger, and that artificial sweeteners may be disrupting that mechanism. Co researcher Sharon Fowler said: 'The thing about artificial sweeteners is that they could have the effect of triggering appetite, but unlike regular sugars they don't deliver something that will squelch the appetite.' In the other study the mice fed aspartame - a sweetener widely used in soft drinks and other products - had higher blood sugar levels after three months. Prof Gabriel Fernandes said: 'These results suggest that heavy aspartame exposure might potentially directly contribute to increased blood glucose levels, and thus contribute to the associations observed between diet soda consumption and the risk of diabetes in humans.' The latest findings will be a blow to the millions who use low calorie artificial sweeteners to help them lose weight. In America, the number of people who eat foods containing sugar-free sweeteners has doubled from 20 years ago to about 160 million. Changing lifestyles mean that more Britons are also opting for low-calorie drinks, with them now commanding more than 60 per cent of the market. In 2007, a study found giving children low calorie food and diet drinks may increase their risk of becoming obese. A team of researchers in Canada suggested children may just eat more to compensate for the lack of calories. The scientists concluded it was better for children to eat healthy, well-balanced diets with sufficient calories for their daily activities rather than low-calorie snacks or meals.

Rule #5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as “kooks”, “right-wing”, “liberal”, “left-wing”, “terrorists”, “conspiracy buffs”, “radicals”, “militia”, “racists”, “religious fanatics”, “sexual deviates”, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

Very good... Now, if you actually HAD anything of substance to "sidetrack," it'd actually be valid. As usual, you mouth the words, but you miss the meaning. Typical liberal. LOL.
As usual, you mouth the words, but you miss the meaning. Rule #18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can’t do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how “sensitive they are to criticism”.

The thought of THAT in spandex is rather frightening....(chuckle) I switched to Diet 7 Up a couple of years ago. Not so much about calories (I've always drank diet soda) but because of the caffeine. After about two weeks, started going to bed a helluva lot earlier.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Sorry.... it was so easy, I could NOT resist... 8^)
Socialists & Democrats want you to do one thing: Aspartame is a nerve poison and is only on the market courtesy of your hero Rumsfeld. So indulge to your heart's content.

I can't remember the last time I had a soda, or pop. I've been advised to use it to eliminate the corrosion on my car's battery terminals - shade tree mechanic advice.
How about posting some pictures of yourself, thunder thighs? You make an amusing chug bunny with your vanity pictures over at ironzip.
war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
Coke. I drink coffee and water and unsweetened iced tea. Weekends were made for beer.

Yes, they said Coke. More recently a guy at the store where I mentioned this remedy said that Windex was a better solution, with the ammonia content. I guess that was professional advice.
Its always amusing when you assign my hero's for me. And the FDA apparently doesn't agree with your kook theory here. Owe-bama's FDA, for the record.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
(laughing) I goaded him a few years back to do just that. Told em his highschool reunion didn't want him to attend....rotflmao. Hook, line and sinker back then. I think thats when he began ranting he was going to sue me, then claimed he bought a one way airline ticket for me to come to NJ or NYC so he could try to beat me up....(I'm laughing my ass off recalling that one!). The boy has some serious issues to say the least.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
And the FDA apparently doesn't agree with your kook theory here. I didn't realize you were such a sucker for the findings of a Fed agency full of Union employees.
Oh you are such a Wascaly Wabbit, Boofer!!!! Shall I post one of your whines to Goldi so we can share a laugh?

And Old #7.
Old 33? Whatchu talkin' about Willis?
Never been a Rolling Rock guy. Give me a cold LaBatt Blue.
LaBatt rocks.
I was drinking Iron City in a Pittsburgh hotel bar Saturday night. Wife had Yuenglings.
I realized long ago you just make shit up and assign it to your betters, ming.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
I listened to nice piece on NPR about family owned businesses and Yeungling was highlighted. I believe they began in 1824 making it the oldest brewery in the country. The 5th generation Yeungling is now the owner and he doesn't have any sons, but two daughters work in the business. Interesting stuff.
