~~ Diet soda linked to weight gain in the elderly
低糖(健怡)可樂和老年人增重有關~~
長久以來大多數人認為低糖飲料是較健康的;但過去的研究顯示肥胖,代謝症候群,以及糖尿病和經常飲用低糖飲料有關.
美國糖尿病學會2011年會發表的論文亦顯示-- 飲用低糖(健怡)可樂和老年人體重增加有關, (體重比對照組增加70%);
一天喝兩罐以上,則體重比對照組增加5 倍.
所以不論大人、小孩、老年人，健康重要！還是少喝含糖飲料,可樂等~~ 
**Diet soda linked to weight gain in the elderly
June 28, 2011 | Neil Canavan
San Diego, CA - The perception that diet soft drinks are a benign alternative to highly sweetened beverages might be dangerously wrong, according to the results of the San Antonio Longitudinal Study of Aging, which were reported here at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2011 Scientific Sessions [1].
Diet soft drinks have long been thought to be a healthier alternative to their sugary counterparts; however, past reports have linked increased incidence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes to the frequent intake of diet soft drinks.
In the study presented, Sharon P Fowler (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio) and colleagues examined the effect of the long-term consumption of diet soft drinks by a population of individuals 65 to 74 years of age (n=474).
At baseline, measures of height, weight, and waist circumference were recorded, as was diet-soft-drink intake. Three additional exams of the study subjects were conducted over an average follow-up of just over 3.5 years (the study was conducted over a nine-year period).
When the results of these observations were compared with those from subjects who did not drink diet soft drinks, the differences were striking. Overall, consumers of diet soft drinks experienced a 70% greater increase in waist circumference than nonconsumers. Further, among elderly drinkers of two or more diet soft drinks per day, mean increases in waist circumference were five times greater than those recorded for nonconsumers.
"These results suggest that—amid the national drive to reduce consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks—policies that promote the consumption of diet soft drinks may have unintended deleterious effects," state the study investigators
