A massive cohort study between ten European countries attempted to determine the connection between mortality and drinking too much soda (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31479109\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, the study of over half a million Europeans confirmed that sugar<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> artificially sweetened sodas were associated with all-cause mortality. On that note, how does soda impact specific health-related conditions?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One systematic review by the University of Minnesota confirmed an association between regular and artificially sweetened sodas and obesity (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28402535\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">37<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Additionally, Bangor University reviewed three studies to confirm the association between sweet cravings and sodas (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21600942\/#:~:text=In%20conclusion%2C%20overweight%2Fobese%20individuals,perception%20of%20normal%2Dweight%20subjects.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">38<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The review found that healthy individuals who began drinking more soda experienced a taste perception change, which made them desire more sugary foods. Even artificial sweeteners might influence the taste buds, causing you to eat more sugar because you don\u2019t taste the sweetness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking too much soda might lead to weight gain and cravings for more sweetened foods because you become insensitive to sweet tastes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, another longitudinal study found that <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/if-i-stop-drinking-diet-soda-will-i-lose-belly-fat\/\">diet soda<\/a> intake was associated with increased belly fat and waist circumference (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25780952\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Furthermore, two smaller studies in New York and Mexico found an association between sodas and diabetes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5998368\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7678283\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">34<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, a meta-analysis from Nova Southeastern University found an association between all sugar-sweetened beverages and heart disease (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9376212\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">39<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

The USDA shows a 12 fl. oz. serving of regular soda without caffeine has 151 calories and 39 g of carbs, all of which are from sugars (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/174851\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another popular and regular 12 fl. oz. soda contains 95.5 calories and 24.7 g of carbs, of which 23.1 g are from sugars (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/175093\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). On the other hand, a bottle of <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/1550-calorie-meal-plan\/\">diet<\/a> soda appears to contain no calories, carbs or sugars (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/769164\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">22<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are fears that the artificial sweetener in diet soda may change how your brain works and how you perceive regular sugar, making you crave more sweet beverages or treats (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3465626\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21600942\/#:~:text=In%20conclusion%2C%20overweight%2Fobese%20individuals,perception%20of%20normal%2Dweight%20subjects.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">38<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, what about carbonating store-bought fruit juice?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The USDA shows 142 calories and 24.6 g of sugar in an 8.45 fl. oz. orange juice box (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/169044\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

Sometimes, you may seek caffeine and not sugar. After all, a 12 fl. oz. fast-food cola contains around 20 mg of caffeine (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/175093\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

A Spanish systematic review showed how probiotics may aid <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fasting-diet-for-men-2\/\">weight loss<\/a> for obese people (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8540110\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
