News Headlines #3 --WIIFM (what's in it for me?)


“Diet Soda DOES NOT Make You Fatter”   You know I LIKE this headline.  It justifies my continuing to drink a soda each day.  

This article at MyBestHealthportal.com questions whether the recent studies on diet soda give cause-and-effect (whether drinking diet soda causes weight gain).   The author goes on to say diet soda can be useful by people trying to control their calorie intake and decrease their intake of sugared soda.  The bottom line: You are making a healthier choice when opting for a diet soda instead of a calorie-laden drink, but beware that you don’t sabotage your good behavior by indulging in fat-adding foods.”  The advice given is, if you drink diet soda, limit it to one or two daily.  Thanks Jeff Behar from My BestHealthPortal.com for this information.
