Diet pop or soda slow down metabolism?!
Answers: so my sis says she saw on the news that diet pop/soda causes your metabolism to slow down, what do you think?
Diet pop doesn't slow metabolism. It is just people drink diet and end up eating more food and crap because they think they saved calories from the pop.
I do know the diet soda's sweetener is very bad for you. I stopped drinking soda on a regular basis 8 years ago. If I go out to eat (which I rarely do with the price of crude oil now) I will get one. Try juice/milk/water.
I saw where they did a test that showed people drinking diet soda got fat more than people drinking regular soda. Ever since then, diet soda creeps me out.
I read the same article. They've showed that on lab rats diet soda does slow their metabolism. They're not sure if it has the same effects on human beings or not.
The other poster is right...regardless the stuff in it is bad for you.
i'm not sure about it. one thing interesting my Doctor told us , that diet pop is not good , because the sweetner sends a message through the blood , that gives the hunger signal. the body reads diet pop as sugar and that causes the hunger signal to go off. it can cause problems for some that are diabetic even though not real sugar. some diabetics have no issues with it. the hunger signal going off all the time in the body isn't really good for anyone on a "DIET" .
I think it's best to have water.
I haven't heard this. I have heard that regular pop is actually better for you than diet. There is something in diet soda that is really bad for your health...
