Such a statement was made by the scientific biologist Kimber Stanhope, representing the University of California. This is reported by the publication Medical Daily..

A 22-person team of scientists conducted a nutrition study and determined that soda and other drinks sweetened with sugar (aspartame) increased the incidence of cardiometabolic risk factors compared to equal amounts of starch in terms of calories..

This state of affairs provokes chronic health problems, including type 2 diabetes and vascular disease..

Aspartame does not lead to obesity, according to this study. According to Kimber Stanhope, drinking soda does not make you fat, as no study on non-caloric sweeteners has shown weight gain..
