But, according to this doctor on social media, they aren\u2019t something that people should be drinking.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-diet-sodas-good-for-you\">Are diet sodas good for you?<\/h2>\n<p>In a video posted on Nov. 12 that had reached over 490,000 views, TikTok user and plastic surgeon Dr. Nima (@drnima) shared a new drinking suggestion. The video has since been removed.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Nima answered the question of if he\u2019d recommend regular sodas or diet sodas. He chose the former and gives the reasoning behind his answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey found that when people drink diet soda they actually gain more weight,\u201d he said in the clip.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Nima doesn\u2019t explain who \u201cthey\u201d are, lacking a source to reach his conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Nima\u2019s video quickly sparked a divided response from his viewers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Soda consumers rushed to respond to his recommendation, and while some took his suggestion as advice, others strongly disagreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t tell me this lol. I\u2019ll go back to regular \u201d one user shared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have lost 45lbs switching to zero sugar.\u201d another countered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZero sugar sodas are just fine people don\u2019t know how weight loss works,\u201d a third user said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-big-problem-with-diet-sodas\">What\u2019s the big problem with diet sodas?<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s several reasons as to why the doctor is recommending regular sodas over their diet counterparts, the main factor being sweeteners. Most diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners as opposed to natural sweeteners, and these have caused a great debate in the science industry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/science\/diet-soda-healthier-regular-soda\">PBS<\/a> issued a report that exposed artificial sweaters as being linked to a negative effect on metabolisms, as well as a possible connection to Type-2 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s important to recognize from the viewers\u2019 rebuttals, though, is what Dr. Nima is specifically comparing. He is speaking on behalf of diet drinks, not zero sugar drinks. And yes, there is a difference between the two.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@drnima\/video\/7436265922677050654\" data-video-id=\"7436265922677050654\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@drnima\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@drnima?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@drnima<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Which kind do you currently drink? \ud83e\udd64<\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - TikTokRhinoDoc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7436265871758199582?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound \u2013 TikTokRhinoDoc<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/coke-zero-vs-diet-coke#nutrition-and-ingredients\">Heathline<\/a> compared Coca Cola\u2019s Diet Zero and Coke Zero. Not only does the no-sugar added beverage have less caffeine than the diet drink, but the calorie counts are very different. Diet Coke contains the artificial sweetener aspartame, which accounts for several calories, while Coke Zero\u2019s sweetener acesulfame potassium does not.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A study by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/weight-loss\/in-depth\/metabolism\/art-20046508#:~:text=You%20gain%20weight%20when%20you,bottom%20line%20is%20calories%20count.\">Mayo Clinic<\/a> did confirm that if consumers aren\u2019t burning as many calories as they are ingesting, they will gain weight.
