Ladies, everyone knows sugary drinks will help you pack on the pounds in no time.

But a new study says the drinks can expand your waistline ... without making you weigh more.

Here's your Facebook Story of the Day.

Doctors say that can be dangerous to a woman's health.

Researchers with the University of Oklahoma looked at data on more than 4000 people, middle-aged and older.

They compared those who drank two or more sugary drinks a day to people who drank one or less.

They found women who drank at least two had increasing waist sizes, and were nearly four times more likely to develop fats in the blood.

Researchers did not see the same trend in men.
