Nowadays, many young people like to drink “0 sugar, 0 calorie” sugar-free drinks in order to lose weight or stay healthy.

dà jiā大家jué de觉得zhè xiē这些yǐn liào饮料jì yǒu既有tián wèi甜味yòubú huì不会zēng jiā增加rè liàng热量shìwán měi完美dedài tì pǐn代替品

People think these drinks taste sweet but do not add calories, so they are the perfect substitute.

However, a recent hot topic online has made people start worrying: if you drink sugar-free drinks for a long time, is your body really okay?

qí shí其实wú táng无糖yǐn liào饮料detián wèi甜味bìngbú shì不是zhēn zhèng真正detángér shì而是dài táng代糖

In fact, the sweetness in sugar-free drinks is not real sugar, but “sweeteners.”

Although sweeteners produce very few calories, the latest research has found that they also have many effects on health.

shǒu xiān首先cháng qī长期wú táng无糖yǐn liào饮料kě néng可能huìzēng jiā增加shēng bìng生病defēng xiǎn风险

First, drinking sugar-free drinks for a long time may increase the risk of getting sick.

Some studies show that people who drink one sugar-free drink every day are actually more likely to develop diabetes.

Other studies have found that if you drink one can of sugar-free soda every day, your brain may age faster.

qí cì其次dài táng代糖kě néng可能huìqī piàn欺骗wǒ men我们dedà nǎo大脑

Second, sweeteners may “trick” our brains.

When we drink something sweet, the brain thinks the body needs energy. This can make us feel hungrier, so we may end up eating more and becoming even fatter.

In China, there was a report about an elderly person who drank sugar-free drinks as if they were water every day, and in the end developed serious health problems and was hospitalized.

Experts remind everyone that drinking sugar-free drinks occasionally is fine, but you should never treat them like plain water and drink large amounts every day.

So, what is best to drink in daily life?

dá àn答案qí shí其实hěnjiǎn dān简单bái kāi shuǐ白开水dàn chá淡茶huò zhě或者shìhēi kā fēi黑咖啡

The answer is actually very simple: plain boiled water, light tea, or black coffee.

If you want to make your body healthier, the best way is not to buy “sugar-free drinks,” but to slowly get used to less sweet tastes.
