Healthier Than Sugary Sodas?
Diet soda is often marketed as a healthier alternative to sugary drinks because it contains far fewer calories. However, the artificial sweeteners used can have metabolic effects that may make weight management difficult.
The Catch
While switching to diet soda might reduce immediate calorie intake, it may not lead to long-term weight loss due to its indirect effect on appetite.
Conclusion
Though lower in calories, diet soda may not be a perfect replacement for sugary drinks, especially in terms of long-term health impacts.
