Yeah, no weight loss in diet soda. Sorry to disappoint all of you diet soda lover.

Two Newest study that was presented in American Diabetes Association clearly show that diet soda can lead to weight gain. One of the study that come from the School of Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center study 474 people with age between 65 to 74, and after observing for a decade they found that the diet soda lover in those people expand their waistlines up to 70% more than those who avoid it. The waist that drink diet soda two times a day are expanding on about 4,7 centimeters.

This is not a new stuff though as people has been suspecting this for a long while, but with this newest study it is real proof that diet soda won’t help you lose weight.

The cause for this weight gain? It is still unclear on what might be the cause of the weight gain. Some suspect that the Aspartame in diet soda is causing the weight gain. Other believe that it is caused by other dietary and lifestyle habit as people with weight problems may be consuming more diet soda, rather than the other way around.

Those who suspect Aspartame for the cause are the people who already believe that Aspartame is bad and they blame Aspartame in every possible chances.

Those who believe that it is caused by other factor and not by the diet soda itself are the diet soda supporter. It is psychologically impossible that zero calories drink cause the weight gain said the Calorie Control Council, a nonprofit association representing manufacturers and suppliers of low-calorie foods and drinks.

Diet soda is marketed as the helper for those who wants to lose weight. The zero calories in them are said to be helpful for those who want to lose weight. In U.S. diet soft drink hold 30 percent of the soda market which was around 3.2 billion cases of diet soda is being sold every year.
