Diet soft drinks are harming more than usual.
Scientists have named five of the more popular drinks, from the use of which should be abandoned.

Coffee syrups
According to the American scientist research organization Environmental Working Group, people often prefer to add it syrups, considering them part of a healthy diet and a pleasant addition to the coffee. Actually, syrups are divided into natural, which is made of berry juice and sugar, and dessert, which include essential oils, dyes, acids and sugar.

Diet sodas
Diet soft drinks are in great demand because it is believed that they contain much less sugar. But, studies show the University of Texas at Austin, people who drink only diet soda were more prone to fat gain in the abdominal area than those who consumed regular soft drinks.

Concentrated juice and smoothies in bottles
