In the late 1980s, more than 500 twelve-ounce cans of sodas were consumed per person per year. The 1994 annual report of the beverage industry shows that per-capita consumption of sodas is 49.1 gallons per year. Of this amount, 28.2 percent of consumption is diet soda. Current estimates per-capita is approximately 60 gallons per year.

Review Finds Diet Soda to be Health Destroyer

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s hardly surprising to learn that diet soda is dangerous or that it “may do more harm than good. We’ve been reporting on the dangers of diet soda here for a long while now. Well, recently researchers from Purdue <strong>reviewed a dozen studies all published within the last five years on the health risks of consuming diet soda.</strong> They published their findings in an opinion piece in <a href="http://download.cell.com/images/edimages/Trends/EndoMetabolism/tem_888.pdf" style="outline: none; text-decoration: none;"><i>Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism</i></a><i> (pdf); <strong>i</strong></i><strong>t was there they revealed their “shock” over their findings.</strong></span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://karachifoods.com/photos/images_photos/photos/Diet-Soda73688982_201361355846.jpg" /></span></div><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><br />

But research is now very clear that we need to also be mindful of how much fake sugar they are consuming.”</span></div></blockquote><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://images1.friendseat.com/2012/06/Soda-Harmful-Effect.jpg" /></span><br />

However, <strong>accumulating evidence suggests that frequent consumers of these sugar substitutes may also be at increased risk of excessive weight gain, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.”</strong></span></div>
<br />
</blockquote><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a result, they set out to discuss the previous findings and attempt to explain how diet soda does serious damage to the body.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5959300518432319010" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img height="372" src="http://media.wbur.org/wordpress/11/files/2013/07/0710_diet-soda.jpg" width="640" /></span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Read: <a href="http://naturalsociety.com/is-diet-soda-bad-for-you-4-major-negative-impacts/" style="outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Is Diet Soda Bad for You?</a></span></strong></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The researchers suggest that diet sodas trick the body into thinking it has consumed sugar. It confuses the normal reactions that follow sugar ingestion (blood sugar regulation, etc.). This leads the body to further confusion and malfunction when actual sugar is consumed, resulting in unregulated blood sugar, blood pressure fluctuations, and changes in metabolism.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, because these super-sweet sweeteners overload the pleasure centers of the brain, it essentially dampens them requiring you to indulge in more calorie-laden, sweeter foods to fulfill this growing need.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following the published piece, the American Beverage Association lashed out, reminding people the article was an opinion and not a scientific study, never mind that it was an opinion piece that investigated <i>several</i> scientific studies.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The association said sugar substitutes are “safe and effective” tools in weight loss and management. They didn’t address the research that says these sweeteners increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, regardless of weight.</span></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Research: </span><a href="http://naturalsociety.com/news-flash-diet-soda-dangerous-drink/">http://naturalsociety.com/news-flash-diet-soda-dangerous-drink/</a></span><br />

This is neither the first nor will it be the last time diet soda and artificially sweetened goods will come under fire from the scientific community. The Food and Drug Administration quickly approved aspartame, called “NutraSweet,” in 1974 in use for limited foods, but only after examining studies provided by G. D. Searle Co.. Yes, the inventor of aspartame.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">It was only after a research psychiatrist concluded that aspartic acid—a key ingredient in aspartame—made holes in mice brains that the FDA rounded up a task force to investigate Searle’s claims. The investigation unveiled a series of falsified claims, corrupted study results, and information that simply wasn’t there. Although the FDA moved for further investigation of Searle by grand jury, US Attorney Thomas Sullivan and Assistant US Attorney William Conlon didn’t lift a finger to help. Conlon, however, found a job at the law firm representing Searle.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">Since then, the </span><a href="http://naturalsociety.com/1999-investigation-finds-aspartame-is-made-with-genetically-modified-bacteria/" style="background-color: white; color: #3b59bb; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">genetically modified creation, aspartame</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">, has been implicated in a number of studies as</span><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17805418" style="background-color: white; color: #3b59bb; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">potentially causing tumors</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">, seizures, brain holes, and </span><a href="http://naturalsociety.com/artificial-sweeteners-linked-with-preterm-delivery/" style="background-color: white; color: #3b59bb; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">reproductive problems</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">.
