Soda drink may actually trigger cravings, weight gain and even leukemia - Dr. Mercola.com

Live healthy and long

Repost from Dr. Mercola.com archive | July 24, 2013

Despite repeated advertising claims, diet soda (I used to drink plenty of Zero and Mega drinks) with aspartame actually cause cravings, weight gain, obesity and even diabetes.

In a Journal entitled Appetite  aspartame and saccharine caused more weight gain than sucrose.

As for the link between cancer and aspartame and cancer, aspartame has been found to induce cancer of the liver in male rats.  In a longest study between cancer and other causes, aspartame has been linked to Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia.  The study came out in 2012

For splenda (sucrolose), the rating for splenda (I shifted to splenda from aspartame) has been downgraded from safe to caution
