We all know that too much of anything can be bad for you. This holds true for low-calorie drinks such as diet sodas.
Studies suggest that drinking more than one soda (diet or regular) a day increases your risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome, a group of risk factors that can increase the chance of developing heart disease, diabetes, stroke or other chronic diseases. In fact, people who consumed just one diet soda daily had a 34 percent higher risk of metabolic syndrome.
March is National Nutrition Month and a great time to rethink your drink and make a healthier selection.
