Non-alcoholic And Unhealthy Eating Have Nothing To Do ?!

The results of the study do not diminish the possible harmful effects that carbonated diet drinks may have with prolonged use.

Consumption of carbonated and diet drinks does not increase the desire to consume unhealthy food more than the consumption of water.

These claims refute the previous hypotheses that carbonated and sweetened drinks increase hormone levels, which leads to a desire to consume sweet and fatty foods.

A new study from the University of North Carolina found that artificial sweeteners are not the cause of increased appetite for unhealthy foods.

The study involved 318 people suffering from overweight and obesity. The volunteers are divided into two groups. The first group consumed water, and the second dietary and carbonated beverages for 6 months.

The results show that the first group reduced their daily caloric intake by about 2000-2300 calories, and the second by between 1500-1800. Six months after the end of the study, the only difference between the two groups is that drinking water emphasizes the consumption of fruits and vegetables, and the second limits sugar, but in neither group is there an increase in unhealthy food intake, the researchers note.

The results of the study do not diminish the possible harmful effects that carbonated diet drinks can have with prolonged use, they added.

The results of the study are published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition .

A previous French study presented in the same journal found that women consuming sweetened diet drinks were 60% more likely to develop diabetes .
