Is diet soda bad for me now?

If you regularly drink diet soda in place of regular soda – for health or weight loss reasons – you may have been shocked by the news coverage of a recent opinion piece in the journal Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Does diet soda change how the body responds to real sugar?

The article suggests that while we tend to think of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners as a healthy alternative to regular sodas and real sugar, these artificially sweetened diet products may actually contribute to an increased risk for excess weight gain, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The authors explain that the body may respond differently to diet drinks (artificially sweetened beverages) than it would to sugar sweetened drinks. So when the body is once again exposed to real sugar, it doesn’t respond as strongly as it should and this may affect metabolism.

I've got some big news and today, good things are happening in threes!

Fancy new diggs: The Piece o' Cake blog has moved to a new website that you can find here. I needed a place to offer my nutrition services and post my Zumba® schedule and had been dragging my feet on building a new website for the longest time. It's finally here, so go check it out! Never fear, I'll still be blogging about nutrition, health, food & fitness. That includes the juicy stuff I know you love, like inexpensive or truly unique workouts, new recipes (including tasty vegetarian and vegan dishes) and my views on the latest diet trends. 


Zumba® summer event: Next month, I am offering two half-price, hour-long Zumba® classes down near Astor Place at 440 Studios (in Manhattan).

One  of my favorite things about  summer is the return of sweet cherries. Plump, juicy, firm and delicious, cherries don't just make you feel like a kid again, they also come with a number of health benefits.

One cup of raw sweet cherries, with pits, is an excellent source of vitamin C (16% DV or daily value) and fiber  (12% DV) and a good source of potassium (9% DV). Cherries also are a great  source of antioxidants, which fight inflammation and disease. In particular,  those deep reddish purple Bing cherries most of us are familiar with, are loaded  with anthocyanins, a type a flavonoid. If flavonoids sound familiar it is  probably because you've heard about the heart healthy benefits they bring to red  wine and dark chocolate.
