Diet Sodas Will Make You Fat

This is an excellent video that explains why zero calorie diet sodas will make you fat. In a nut shell diet sodas are high in phosphoric acid. This throws off the body's PH and forces the body to work extra hard to resume a neutral state around 6.8 - 7.2. In doing so, the body draws on essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iodine. Iodine is critical for the proper functioning of your thyroid and it is your thyroid that regulates your metabolism. A poor functioning and under producing thyroid causes your metabolism to slow down and the result is weight gain.
