How dangerous is diet soda actually?
The Harvard Medical School clearly states that sugary drinks are the largest contributors of calories in American dishes. Let us get a bit more practical here.
One soda bottle – as innocent and inviting as it looks – contains at least 42 grams of sugar diluted into approximately 355ml of water.
This is the equivalent of gulping about 8-10 teaspoons of sugar. Such quantity is 1.5 times the amount of sugar the American Heart Association recommends for a woman in 24 hours.
Frightening, isn’t it?
