Fat Storage and Diet Soda
Although diet soda contains little to no calories, its artificial sweeteners can trigger an insulin response, which may lead to fat storage. Over time, this could contribute to weight gain.
The Metabolic Effect
Diet soda’s minimal calories can still have a significant impact on fat storage due to the hormonal changes it triggers.
Conclusion
Diet soda may promote fat storage indirectly, even though it is labeled as a zero-calorie beverage.
