Diet soda guzzlers, listen up... you may choose this drink because you think its a 'lighter' option... time to wake up! A recent study has found that those drinking diet sodas have just as much risk as developing diabetes as those who drink regular soda. Surprised?

Diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners, the most common of which is aspartame, which is well known to cause havoc in the body and has been shown to damage the brain by destroying neurons (building blocks of your nervous system). This has been known to lead to conditions including MS, Alzheimer's, hearing loss, memory loss, epilepsy and more. And unfortunately, artificial sweeteners have an addictive quality that can stimulate the appetite, increase carbohydrate cravings and stimulate fat storage, thereby increasing weight gain. So your 'diet' soda isn't your lighter option at all!
How about nature's lighter option - water - instead? Want some flavour? Add lemon, lime, orange or mint to it. Want bubbles? Go for soda or mineral water.
