Calories in liquid form is said to quickly gain weight because it goes into the body very easily. Drink it removes the thirst but not get rid of hunger. That's why they were sipping sodas very sweet does not reduce the number of calories of food that was eaten.
"Many people do not think about what they are drinking and its impact on the overall diet," said Rachel Johnson, PhD, RD, a researcher from the University of Vermont.
In contrast, with soft drinks, there is a tendency to eat more. Studies from Yale University analyzed 88 studies about soda and found a clear link between soda intake and extra calories from food.
"The most convincing study concluded that when people sip soft drinks, they consume more calories from food than in the days they do not sip soft drinks," said Marlene Schwartz, a researcher of the study.
Lately, due to pressure from people who want to live healthy, soft drink brands sell diet soda products. "Recently there was little evidence that diet sodas help you lose weight. In fact, one study shows people sipping fizzy drinks to justify himself to eat more, "says Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition at New York University.
not Justification
Indeed drink zero calorie diet soda is better than regular soda. "It's OK to enjoy all the diet soda does not use it as justification to allow yourself to eat more. Many people drink diet soda in order to eat more cake and cake, "says Nestle.
Pressure from society to be able to live a healthy life making soft drinks manufacturers produce beverages with added vitamins and minerals. There is also a carbonated soft drink products with label zero calorie zero calorie alias.
"Manufacture of beverages including carbonated soft drinks thought to be part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle," said Tracey Halliday, a spokeswoman for the American Beverage Association. He pointed juice beverage products, sports drinks, diet soft drinks can be part of healthy living.
"A bit ridiculous if marketed soft drinks as a healthy drink. However, consumers are now in need of food and drink that looks healthy and require manufacturers increase sales, "said Nestle.
He argues in fact most of us do not need extra vitamins of drinks. "We do not have a shortage of vitamins. Soft drinks were given a vitamin supplement does not answer the problem of obesity, heart disease or cancer, "he said.
According to Johnson, not the soft drink's vitamins that the body needs. "Nutrition is not included in the nutritional beverage that has always needed by the body, such as calcium, potassium, folate or vitamin D," he said.
He advised consumers to choose beverages that not only relieve your thirst but also provide additional nutrients your body needs. Examples of the drink is genuine homemade fruit juice without added sugar and low-fat milk or skim milk.
"Drinks like these that help us meet the nutritional needs and in accordance with the recommendations of the expert nutritional needs," he said.
