Fitness Friday - Diet Soda


We've all seen it. Some of us maybe even do it. Someone orders a "Diet" soda but then orders the supersize french fry. Then they sit back and wonder why they're gaining weight. For awhile people have said it's not the diet soda making us gain weight it's the extra amount of calories that people consume because they think they're skimping on the diet soda. Well, finally, new studies have shown that the artifical sweetner in diet soda maybe actually causing people to gain weight by altering their brain's chemical make-up and putting them at risk for a variety of metabolic diseases. I don't like soda. I think it's a terrible mix of a variety of poisons for your body. But if you're still not convinced and if you want more information on the study you can watch this.
