Some people think diet soft drinks are healthier because they don’t have sugar or calories. They think having these drinks can help them lose weight. Actually, diet soft drinks do have some sugar, although very little. Usually, if there is 0.5 grams of sugar or less in a 100-gram drink, it can be called a diet soft drink. Although they have little sugar, diet soft drinks still taste sweet by using artificial sweeteners (人工甜味剂). They have very few calories.

The picture above shows its full progression (进展). The total solar eclipse could be seen in North America. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth. As the moon shortly covered the sun on April 8th, cities went into darkness. The temperatures dropped greatly by up to 7°C during totality (全食), reported dogonews.com. There are five stages in a total solar eclipse: Partial eclipse begins (1st contact): The Moon becomes visible over the Sun’s disk. It looks like the Moon has taken a bite out of the Sun. Total eclipse begins (2nd contact): The Moon covers the entire disk of the Sun, and people are now within the Moon’s umbra (本影). Totality and maximum eclipse: The Moon completely covers the disk of the Sun. Only the Sun’s corona (日冕) is visible. This is the most dramatic stage of a total solar eclipse. At this time, the sky goes dark, temperatures can fall, and birds and animals often go quiet. The midpoint of time of totality is known as the maximum point of the eclipse. Total eclipse ends (3rd contact): The Moon starts moving away, and the Sun reappears. Those fortunate enough to be in the Moon’s umbral can see Baily’s beads and the diamond ring effect just after totality ends. Partial eclipse ends (4th contact): The eclipse ends as the Moon leaves the Sun’s disk. To Chinese people regret, we can’t watch the beautiful view this time.

But are they really a good choice? Some people think diet soft drinks are healthier because they don’t have sugar or calories. They think having these drinks can help them lose weight. Actually, diet soft drinks do have some sugar, although very little. Usually, if there is 0.5 grams of sugar or less in a 100-gram drink, it can be called a diet soft drink. Although they have little sugar, diet soft drinks still taste sweet by using artificial sweeteners (人工甜味剂). They have very few calories. But when you eat sweet-tasting things like sugar, it hits your brain and makes you want more. Your brain tells your body to prepare itself for more sugar. When you drink a diet soft drink, the brain receives the “sweet signal (信号)”, but no sugar arrives. Since the brain is fooled (被愚弄), it still wants more sweets. So, you may gain weight but not lose if you drink diet soft drinks. 52．How much sugar does a 100-gram diet soft drink have?
