‘In light of a recent study finding that nearly 200,000 people per year are killed by sugar-sweetened beverages, some people might be tempted to switch to diet soft drinks instead. The information from this study was presented at the 63rd Annual Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology in 2014, where they discussed how diet soft drinks can cause many of the same health problems as sugar-sweetened drinks.
Specifically, the Tufts University study led by Gitanjali Singh, Ph.D., found that diet soft drinks increased healthy postmenopausal women’s risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.’
