A new study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
found that people who drank diet soda gained almost triple the
abdominal fat over nine years as those who didn’t drink diet soda. The
study analyzed data from 749 people ages 65 and older who were asked,
every couple of years, how many cans of soda they drank a day, and how
many of those sodas were diet or regular.
Those answers ended up being extremely predictive of abdominal-fat gain, even after the researchers adjusted for factors like diabetes, smoking and levels of physical activity. People who didn’t drink diet soda gained about 0.8 in. around their waists over the study period, but people who drank diet soda daily gained 3.2 in. Those who fell in the middle — occasional drinkers of diet soda — gained about 1.8 in.
