Posted: 07/26/2011
Grabbing a diet soda is not helping you lose your weight, according to a new study.
The research was presented at the American Diabetes Association Conference and it said those who drank diet soda gained 3 times more weight than people who avoided soda completely.
The 12 year study focused on 474 people between the ages of 65 and 74. Similar studies have been done on younger people with similar results.
