"Wanna lose some weight? It's simple. Give up the soda pop"
That's the word from the International Journal of Obesity. People who drink regular soda consume 150 calories per can. And when we drink empty calories in beverages, we usually don't cut back on food to make up for it - so we gain weight.
A recent study at Purdue University involved putting healthy volunteers on either a "soda pop diet" or a "jelly bean diet". Individuals in each group consumed an extra 450 calories per day for a month - 450 calories of soda or 450 calories of jelly beans.
The results: The people who ate the jelly beans ate less food to make up for those extra calories, so they didn't gain weight. But the ones who drank the soda didn't feel as full, so they didn't eat less, and they all gained weight.
Soda consumption has almost tripled in the last 30 years, according to the National Soft Drink Association. And experts believe this is a big factor in the national trend toward obesity.
So - when you wanna quench your thirst, nutrition experts say good ol' H-2-O is always the best way to go.
