Good morning everyone. I read one article about diet soda. There’s a good news to those who love do drink diet soda. Most specially to those who goes on a diet.
According to a new study drinking diet soda may reduce the risk of forming kidney stones.
The researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, suggests that the citrate and malate content in commonly consumed sodas may be sufficient to inhibit the development of calcium stones.
Increased alkalinity is proven to augment citraturia, a known factor for calcium stones. Malate increases the amount of alkali delivered. The researchers measured the citrate and malate content of 15 popular diet sodas.
They found that Diet Sunkist Orange contained the greatest amount of total alkali and Diet 7-Up had the greatest amount of citrate as alkali. The American Urological Association has warned people not to put all their faith in diet drinks.
This study by no means suggests that patients with recurrent kidney stones should trade in their water bottles for soda cans. However, this study suggests instead that patients with stone disease who do not drink soda may benefit from moderate consumption.

Hi,
Diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners, which must be completely avoided. Do you know many of these artificial sweeteners are used to destroy lab animals so that their body count ratio can be made safe for human consumption? People having artificial sweeteners often complain of craving more for carbohydrate-rich foods. As a result, they end up putting on more weight. You may think that by having a soda drink, you have actually consumed zero calories. Unfortunately, that's not true! Many scientific studies indicate that people having soda are likely to eat more food due to their subconscious belief that they saved on calories after drinking a diet drink.
