The Unhealthy Truth About Diet Coke: Weight Gain Effects Revealed

The health effects of Diet Coke and other diet sodas are still being debated, but there is evidence suggesting that artificial sweeteners used in these drinks may have adverse effects on health, including an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and weight gain. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends avoiding artificial sweeteners, and nutritionists advise staying away from them as well. Regular soda, on the other hand, contains high amounts of sugar, which can also lead to health issues. Healthier alternatives to soda include sparkling mineral waters, kombucha, and flavored sparkling waters with added fruit infusions.
