Sugary sodas get a bad rap but what about their artificial sweetened relatives? Researchers are unable to find strong results suggesting artificial sweeteners are unhealthy for most adults. Some evidence suggests they can increase appetite or stave off satiation after eating. While drinking only water is almost certainly the healthiest approach, diet sodas are likely fine as part of your diet.
Key Takeaways:
- There’s a clear correlation between consuming sugar and health problems. A similar connection for artificial sweeteners has not been shown.
- No large-scale studies in humans have shown any links between aspartame, saccharin or other sugar substitutes and disease.
- Some animal studies have pointed to possible issues, but those have never been borne out in humans.
