Diet Soda Consumption Tied To Increased Abdominal Fat.

a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society reveals that “people who drank diet soda gained almost triple the abdominal fat over nine years as those who didn’t drink diet soda.” After analyzing “data from 749 people ages 65 and older who were asked, every couple of years, how many cans of soda they drank a day, and how many of those sodas were diet or regular,” then adjusting for confounding factors, researchers found that “people who drank diet soda daily gained 3.2” inches around their waist during the study period, while those who did not drink diet soda gained approximately 0.8 inches. The Daily Mail (UK) (3/17, Spencer) also covers the story. http://time.com/3746047/diet-soda-bad-belly-fat/
