Myth of healthy eating 2: Sugar -free food and drinks help you lose weight

with it! You can't win!

First, you will learn that sugar and refined carbohydrates can be a reason for your excess body fat. Now I tell you that sugar-free products are also no-no?

How can it be if the food industry has told us for years that diet lemonades, sugar-free drinks and low-calorie drinks are the solution to healthy weight loss? The shelves are stacked with these products!

very simple, the evidence is now the opposite. The latest research results have shown that people who regularly drink sugar -free / "diet" drinks are just as likely to be obese as those who consume full sugar alternatives. It seems that your brain, when it registers the sweet taste of the artificial sweeteners contained in such products, triggers a biochemical reaction that is similar to the processing of natural sugar.

An independent study by Framingham Heart Study researchers in Massachusetts showed results that indicate that the consumption of diet-soda correlates with an increased metabolic syndrome [Abnormal Response and Ineffectiveness of Insulin on Blood Glucose]. Of the 9,000 men and women examined, 4320 had a higher risk of weight gain and increased blood sugar.

Sharon P. Fowler, MPH, and colleagues from the Health Science Center of the University of Texas, San Antonio, reported that not only the entire consumption of refreshment drinks was associated with obesity and obesity, but that the risk of obesity in people who only drank a soft diet was even higher drinks. In fact, when you looked at your data, the researchers found that almost the entire risk of obesity was due to refreshment drinks from diet lemonades. The risk of becoming overweight rose by 41% for every can or bottle of diet freshness drink that a person consumes daily.

And then there is the problem of artificial sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners are exactly - artificial!

These are controversial non-food products that are usually produced by people do not offer a nutritional value and have been associated with serious illnesses for some time. Despite health concerns in connection with Aspartam, Saccharin and others, it does not seem to let go of how quickly manufacturers can take into our diet.

A preliminary study by Hannah Gardener from the University of Miami connected the daily consumption of diet-soda with a 61% higher incidence of "vascular events" such as strokes and heart attacks.

Once again it is really shocking that products from which manufacturers claim that they are healthy and promote weight loss, exactly the opposite, aren't it? When can we expect honesty and transparency in food advertising?
