Diet Soda Not so Sweet When it comes to Your Health
Attention all diet soda drinkers! Did you know that you may be at a greater risk for developing metabolic syndrome and/or type two diabetes if you continue to imbibe in this particular type of bubbly? Yes, say the authors of a study published in the January 16, 2009 on-line issue of Diabetes Care.
Metabolic syndrome, also known as insulin resistance or Syndrome X, is a serious condition characterized by elevated fasting blood sugar levels, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, and high blood pressure. Insulin is a hormone that signals the cells to absorb glucose (energy from food) from the blood stream. Diets that are high in refined sugars cause the body to secrete more insulin and over time, the cells become resistant to its effects, resulting in high blood sugar. Women who are insulin-resistant are at a greater risk for developing heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometrial cancer, and possibly, Alzheimer’s disease. <<More
