Unit 5 First aid Ⅰ阅读理解 ’s face it.No one drinks diet soda for the taste.People drink diet soda in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it.Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn’t drink diet soda.揥hat we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more weight they were likely to geain,” said Sharon Fowler.
