Other hidden dangers of soda
Aside from their effect on bones, diet sodas also have effects on the rest of your body. Here are some subtle but worrying effects that shouldn't be ignored:
1- An increased risk of diabetes and insulin resistance
According to some studies, even sugar-free artificial sweeteners disrupt metabolism and promote an increase in abdominal fat, a key factor in type 2 diabetes.
2- Substances of concern in your drink
The artificial caramel coloring used in brown lemonades contains potentially harmful substances that have been identified as carcinogenic in animals. A rather unsettling ingredient that can be consumed daily.
3. Your teeth will not be spared.
Citric acid, present in large quantities in these drinks, attacks tooth enamel and significantly increases the risk of cavities and dental erosion. A double whammy for your smile.
4- Silent but lasting effects on your overall health
In the long term, regular consumption of sodas, including diet sodas, is associated with conditions such as:
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) Cardiovascular
disease
Cognitive decline and risk of dementia
