Meat prices are quite low in the U.S. It is almost cheaper to buy meat than vegetables. That makes some sense when you consider that the grain prices that feed the cattle, pigs and chickens are low, and meat is just another way of transporting grain to market. But it can't last forever. They need to develop better soy-burgers.

Research

Some theories suggest that diet sodas are to blame for causing health problems such as metabolic syndrome. A follow-up study to the Framingham Heart Study suggested that drinking sweets such as soda triggers a person to crave other sweets. On the other hand, the American Heart Association stated that the study could not illustrate the link between heart disease factors and soft drinks. In 2009, the Diabetes Care Journal published the results of a study that found that daily consumption of a diet soda was linked to a higher risk for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome disorder.

Conclusion

Science does not prove that diet colas affect blood sugar levels. In theory, artificial sweeteners used in these products should not have any effect. Physicians on the DukeHealth.org website debate on whether diet soda is harmful or not. Though each doctor has her own opinion regarding the topic, doctors cannot make conclusions due to the lack of substantial findings in research. Overall, the Harvard School of Public Health recommends that people consume fewer sugary drinks and limit diet soda consumption.
