Shocking!! The Top 38 Diet Sodas—Ranked for Health [View all]

What if I told you that the most popular weight-loss product in America was scientifically proven to actually make you fatter?
It’s true. The name of that product: Diet soda.
In fact, daily diet soda drinkers grow 2 ½ more inches of belly fat each decade than those who don’t drink the stuff, according to a recent study. Even if you’re consuming fewer calories, you may still gain weight thanks to diet soda.
“Diet drinks cause insulin to be released in your gut because their artificial sweeteners are sweet like sugar, and that actually prevents weight loss,” Miriam Jacobson, RD, CDN, told us. “Insulin is your body’s primary fat-storage hormone, so it will have the body hold onto any extra fat.”
