(CBS) Sorry, soda lovers – even diet drinks can make you fat.
That’s the word from authors of two new studies, presented Sunday at a meeting of the American Diabetes Association in San Diego.
“Data from this and other prospective studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas as healthy alternatives may be ill-advised” Dr. Helen Hazuda, professor of medicine at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, said in a written statement. “They may be free of calories, but not of consequences.”
