3. Zero soda mixed with alcohol makes the drunk more harmful
Another curious fact was proved after research carried out by experts in Northern Kentucky University. During the study it became evident that drinks that contain artificial sweeteners instead of regular sugar are more dangerous if drunk mixed with alcohol. It appears that our blood absorbs artificial elements more quickly which makes alcohol reach the brain quicker. So, getting drunk and losing control will take you much less time if your habit is to make cocktails mixed with zero-calorie soda.

4. Artificial sweeteners cause depression
Although it has not yet been fully proved, however, scientists from the American Academy of Neurology claim that diet drinks that contain artificial components will eventually lead to a greater risk to suffer from depression. It has been estimated that those who consume four glasses or cans of diet drinks or more a day might feel depressed much more often than those who refrain from drinking sugary drinks. The same rule is applied to those who like fruit punches. The reasons why this kind of phenomenon occurs should be studied further.
