A new study fully funded by the American Beverage Association — whose members include Coca-Cola and Pepsi — draws some favorable conclusions for the soda industry, suggesting that drinking diet beverages can help people lose weight. The findings contradict previous studies that have found diet soda is linked to weight gain and health problems.
Researchers conducted a 12-week clinical trial with a sample size of 303 people. Participants were split into two groups: one that was allowed to drink at least 24 ounces of diet beverages each day, and one that wasn’t allowed to drink any soda or add artificial sweeteners to their coffee. The two groups both participated in the same weight loss treatment program, and at the end of the three month period, researchers found that the people that were allowed to drink diet soda had lost an average of four additional pounds.
The study authors concluded that it’s easier for people to stick to a diet and exercise plan if they’re not also depriving themselves of the diet sodas they’re used to drinking.
