How many times have you heard someone say they are “switching to Diet drinks” in order to lose weight? Maybe you’ve done it, too. It makes sense. Sugar is the problem, so if we take out all that sugar, not harm no foul, right?
Another study has recently been done which indicates that switching to diet drinks actually INCREASES your risk of Type II Diabetes.
The bottom line is this: we humans think we can outsmart our own bodies by chemically engineering drinks that taste like sugar but don’t act like sugar. The problem is, our body, when it tastes something so sweet like Aspartame (one of the most commonly used artificial sweeteners), produces more insulin in response, because it still thinks it’s dealing with sugar. Over time, this leads to more problematic diabetes, not less.
So what should you do instead? Stick with those sugary drinks? Come on, you know better than that! If not, check out what those regular cokes are doing to you!
If you are ready to kick the Diet Coke habit and truely learn how to care for your health through nutrition, then schedule a time with Dr. Ranicki through his "Creating Wellness Program."
