Deferred gratification, the ability to forgo Nutonen Review a small reward now to obtain a larger reward later, is an important element of self-control and, to some degree, this is an important mindset to have for anyone with Type 2 diabetes. Scientists at the University of North Dakota have found that drinking diet soda undermines self-control, and ironically, may predispose Type 2 diabetics and dieters to eating too much and gaining weight... which they then try to take off later, again with diet sodas.
The North Dakota research team recruited students and offered them seven payouts, a smaller amount of money at the time of the experiment, or a larger amount of money at a later date. (Students, of course, tend to need money now rather than later, but this reality may have been considered in the research protocol). They took the students' blood sugar levels before and after the study, and then they offered the students either a diet drink, flavored with aspartame, or a regular soda, flavored with sugar.
Research showed The scientists found that the students who drank diet soda tended to want to take the money and run. Students who drank the sugar-sweetened soft drink... more often opted for more money at a later time. The researchers believe that a combination of sweet taste and nil calories sends a signal to the brain of the possibility of a future calorie crisis, that somehow food is not providing the nutrients the body needs and it is essential to eat more.
