New report links frequency of diet soda use to waist increases

[Nelson Vergel]

"Among SALSA participants who reported that they did not consume any diet sodas, waist circumference increased less than 1 inch on average over the total follow-up period, said Sharon P. Fowler, M.P.H., adjunct faculty in the School of Medicine at the Health Science Center. Among participants who reported occasional use - drinking less than one diet soda a day - waist circumference increased almost 2 inches. And among those who consumed diet sodas every day, or more often than once a day, waist circumference increased over 3 inches. "

I always enjoyed drinking diet soda, it was very hard for me to stop especially working in hot weather (summer months) but now it's been well over a year since I had a diet soda.
