Diet soda greatly affects a person’s hormones, which may explain why so many people gain weight when they drink it.

Diabetes occurs when the pancreas becomes overworked from creating insulin. The more soda a person consumes means the harder their pancreas has to work and the greater the risk of diabetes.
