Diet drinks are more dangerous than you think!
Diet foods: a hidden danger to your health
In a 14-year scientific research journey, Australian scientists uncovered an unexpected surprise that changed our understanding of diet drinks. The study,
Published in the journal Diabetes & Metabolism , it was led by researchers from Monash University, RMIT University and Cancer Council Victoria,
More than 36,000 people aged between 40 and 69 participated.
A hidden relationship between diet and diabetes
The story began when scientists wanted to monitor the effect of soft drinks on the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
It turns out that diet drinks, long considered a healthy option, may be more harmful than we think.
While drinks sweetened with regular sugar were associated with a 23% increased risk,
The surprise came from diet drinks, which raised this risk to 38%.
Diet is more dangerous than sugar?
While many believe that cutting calories means better health, the findings show that the artificial sweeteners used in these drinks may directly impact metabolism, not just weight gain. Researchers confirmed that the link between these drinks and diabetes remained even after excluding obesity, reinforcing the hypothesis that dieting itself carries its own risks.
Call to review health policies
Accordingly, scientists have warned against underestimating the risks of diet drinks, calling for a rethink of health policies related to them. They also stressed the need to impose taxes and regulations not only on sugar-sweetened beverages but also those containing artificial substitutes, in order to protect public health from a silent threat lurking under the banner of "no sugar."
Health warning in new clothes
Ultimately, choosing diet drinks may not be the best solution you'd think. This study prompts us to rethink our daily habits, as danger sometimes lurks within what we consider safe. Type 2 diabetes may find its way into our bodies through a can of diet soda, which contains no sugar but carries another, unseen risk.
instead drink things like
mineral water with lemon or cranberry juice and a mint leaf
beware of natural flavors they are anything but natural
definitely stay away from artificial sweeteners
