Diet Soda Tied To Stroke Risk and Heart Attack
According to a brand new study presented at yesterday’s American Stroke Association International Stroke Conference in Los Angeles, there seems to be a definite correlation among diet soda consumption and an improved risk of heart attack and stroke.
In the research of greater than 2,500 subjects, people who drank diet soda day-to-day had a 61 percent elevated risk of cardiovascular activities compared to people that drank no soda. This was observed to be accurate even when accounting for smoking, physical exercise, alcohol consumption and daily calories.
“This study suggests that diet soda isn’t an optimum substitute for sugar-sweetened drinks, and could be linked to a better risk of stroke,” Hannah Gardener in the University of Miami and her colleagues reported on the conference. Gardener is surely an epidemiologist in the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and lead author from the study.
