Diet Sodas Are Making YOU Fat! - And Other 'I Told You So' Info
For years I have taught and touted the dangers of Soda Pop to the American People. In my practice as a Massage Therapist ALL of my clients knew my stand on this massive health risk that has taken America by storm. And WE are passing our legacy of the love of this very fattening, bone degenerating, hormone altering drink to the world.
Wow, now there's something to be proud of right? "Making the world a sicker place, one Diet Coke at a time!"
I often said if you MUST have a soda, do NOT drink the Diet of any kind. And for the most part that usually brought on the 'deer-in-the-headlights;' look of 'What do you mean?" and crossed with "Sweetie, are you off your rocker??" look. It is priceless. Tell someone this and you'll get to see that look first hand. It's really kind of funny and telling all at the same time.
I have actually taught my children the dangers of Soda years ago and my older children refuse to drink it at all and started a movement on their school to where the great majority of their friends don't drink soda either after hearing about it.
Recently, the nation news decided to finally do a piece on this very issue. (Can I say FINALLY and have it mean anything? LOL) Here's the story:
This was a great write up in the Peyton Classifieds, so I have included it here:
DIET SODAS ARE FATTENING!
(July 23th) Tonight on CBS News, Katie Couric, broke the story that diet sodas are fattening and can increase risk of Metabolic Syndrome and heart disease. This was startling news to the public, and baffling to scientists.
Susan Feely, President of the American Beverage Association, stated "How can something with zero calories that's 99% water with a little flavoring in it .. cause weight gain?"
CBS quoted studies that show people who drink more than one soft drink a day had a 48 percent increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome.
DIET SODA CAUSES WEIGHT GAIN?
New studies involving over 1,500 subjects have shown that people who drink diet soft drinks don't lose weight - in fact, they gain weight. Researchers stated "What was surprising was when we looked at people only drinking diet soft drinks, their risk of obesity was even higher."
In fact, when the researchers took a closer look at their data, they found that nearly all the obesity risk from soft drinks came from diet sodas. There was a 41 percent increase in risk of being overweight for every can or bottle of diet soft drink a person consumes each day.

WHY?
Cephalic Response: Key Code to Obesity
The real issue for the soda researchers, which was addressed by Katie Couric on CBS news, was why diet sodas cause weight gain. It may be a mystery to most researchers, but the SKINNY SCIENCE research team already has the answer.
Clinical researchers at Glycemic Research Laboratories (GRL) know exactly why and how diet sodas cause weight gain. It's caused by the Cephalic Response, and the GRL SKINNY SCIENCE team has been studying the effects on humans for the past 20 years.
They, in fact, received the first patent awarded worldwide for this research.
With combined expertise of 90 years, the SKINNY SCIENCE team has delved into the biochemistry that causes the Cephalic Response, including the glycemic index and glycemic response of foods.
The CV's of the SKINNY SCIENCE researchers reads like a Who's Who, and actually includes a scientist that is listed in the Who's Who of American Inventors, the top genetic researcher in the world from NIH, and a renowned MD, PhD in Cardiovascular Pharmacology, who just won a Lifetime Achievement Award.
The SKINNY SCIENCE research team includes Dr. Ann de Wees Allen, Dr. Clair Francomano, and Dr. Randall Maxey.

Their clients include Hershey Foods, Proctor & Gamble, and other food giants who hire the team to determine the glycemic and fat-storing effects of their foods and beverages.
The SKINNY SCIENCE researchers will not reveal the results of the ongoing trials, but hint that a major company is getting ready to introduce a Non-Cephalic soda."
