There is all kinds of recent research that states diet soda can be linked to diabetes and heart disease. Some even claim that diet soda will put you at a higher risk for weight gain than regular, full caloried, all the sugar having, sweet soda. Hmm, I don’t know which way to go on this one.

It has been proven in the past that caffeine can affect your blood sugar. So, this leads me to my next question. Would it make a difference if we were to drink caffeine free diet coke versus a plain ol’ diet coke? What have you found? Personally, I do drink a diet Coke a day, in lieu of a cup of coffee in the afternoon. I have to have a pick me up in the hours leading up to dinner due the fact that my kids still get up at all times of the night. And by the way, when will that stop?

I am going to compare a few studies that I have found on the subject of debate. My issue with so much of the research done on this matter is that the people being screened and observed have so many other lifestyle choices that can lead to diabetes and heart disease. Who is to say that the diet soda alone caused the increased risk factor for developing diabetes? If you have anything, share it with me. This seems like fairly important information, since so many of us substitute diet soda’s over full sugared drinks.
