metabolic syndrome

[arguchik]

interesting. check out this article on metabolic syndrome and diet soda. apparently diet soda raises the risk for diabetes and heart disease the same as regular soda. i always figured it was the sugar in regular soda that affected metabolism, blood sugar/diabetes, and body fat/weight, but apparently it's about more than just sugar consumption.

if i had my life to do over again, i might actually choose to become a nutrition scientist. the field fascinates me.
