Oddest thing I ever have observed … from a person in front of me berating her husband for starting to draw her a normal soda in a fast-food restaurant, “I’ve told you a thousand times, I only want diet soda. I don’t need all those extra calories!” On her tray were two double hamburgers with all the fixings including the extra mayo she ordered, and a large order of french fries, plus a side of chicken tenders and a hot apple pie ‘for desert’. And that was just for her – the husband had his own tray of food.
Now, that’s about 2,500 calories of food, and she’s worried about 120 calories from a sweetened 16-oz soda?
Ever notice; people that drink a lot of diet soda typically are not thin??? Our bodys don’t recognize artificial sweeteners (sucrose either, which is corn sugar, glucose it recognizes) the body stores what it doesn’t recognize as…FAT!
