Diet drinks not 'diet' after all
Written by Ana Sandoiu

From soft drinks to white bread, almost everything on the menu seems to contain sugar. Although "diet" drinks have been promoted as a healthful alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages, researchers now argue this is not the case.
 
Diet drinks may not promote weight loss, a new review shows.

There are currently numerous campaigns trying to raise awareness of the negative health effects of sugar, particularly on weight gain and obesity.

I stopped drinking diet soft drinks when I realized they actually made me hungry.  Not a good side effect if you have a weight problem, as I do. 

These days I drink water.
