What Happens If You Only Drink Diet Soda? Unlisted Video

Artificial sweeteners are one of diet soda's main ingredients.
But studies have shown that the artificial sweeteners within diet sodas can cause a series of health problems.
According to Business Insider when we drink diet soda, the sweetness tricks our body into thinking it's real sugar.
But when those energy-packed calories don't arrive, the insulin has nothing to store.
That's why drinking diet soda is associated with metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome means increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, and weight gain.
Those symptoms can lead to diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
