It’s sparkling, it’s refreshing, and it sometimes evokes memories of childhood or gourmet breaks with friends. Yet, behind its bubbles and sweet taste, soda may well be a somewhat overly present guest in our daily lives. Are you used to drinking it regularly? Here’s why it might be time to slow down…
Liquid sugar: a trap for the figure
We all know that sodas are full of added sugars . And unlike solid foods, these sugars in liquid form don’t send the right signals to our brains to tell us that we’ve eaten enough. As a result, we continue to consume calories, without feeling full. In the long run, this can contribute to gradual weight gain , even without obvious overeating. And if you thought a soda a day couldn’t hurt, research shows that just that small can a day can significantly increase the risk of obesity.
