Скачать или смотреть Is diet soda BAD for you? Are there HEALTH RISKS?

Are diet sodas really as bad as some people make them out to be? It just takes a few searches online, and the negativity and fear mongering around diet drinks is very clear to see.

But what is the truth about diet sodas? Is there justification for all the fear, or have people's attitudes been formed by sensationalist media pieces and content designed to drive high views?

As someone who consumes diet drinks, I’ve always been of the “everything in moderation” mindset. I think they taste good, they’re great for dealing with sugar cravings and helping you stick to a calorie controlled diet. But there is so much negative press out there about diet drinks, it made me wonder if I’m actually risking my health by consuming them.

So in this video I have looked at the most common objections to diet sodas, and looked at whether there is any science to back them up. Now different brands of sodas will all have slightly different ingredients. So for simplicity I have focused on Diet Coke/Coke Zero, and this is the most popular brand.
