I’ve been in the hospital for one month now and I’ve spent a fair amount of time reviewing fitness and health content.
I can’t believe people are so ignorant. The amount of misinformation is incredible.
Let’s discuss diet soda.
Diet Coke won’t make you fat. Artificial sweeteners DO NOT trigger insulin release. They DO NOT ‘trick’ your body into thinking you’re ingesting sugar.
To be clear. Nobody is calling diet soda a health food or stating it’s ’good for you’.
Although recent studies have shown people who consumed Diet Coke lost more weight due to better diet adherence.
There is some discussion about artificial sweeteners altering gut flora and microbiome but nothing has been proven in research.
So if you like Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Pepsi Max etc, enjoy them in moderation without worrying about your blood sugar.
